Lens on Life Project

📸✨ A day to remember!

Our students from Zaatari Refugee Camp recently had the rare opportunity to visit Jordan’s historic Ajloun Castle — a first for many.

For our young students who rarely get the chance to leave the camp, this trip was nothing short of extraordinary. They explored ancient walls, captured stunning landscapes, and connected with the rich history of Jordan through their own lenses.

These moments remind us of the power of photography not just to see the world, but to experience it.

Thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable journey possible. More to come from our students’ viewfinders. 📷🕌💫

🚨 While our lab in Goma remains temporarily closed due to the ongoing security situation, we’re actively monitoring developments on the ground. We’re relieved to share that all of our students and teachers are safe, and we remain in close contact with our community.

In the meantime, we’ve shifted training resources to Burundi with our amazing partner , where we’re launching new classes for young people in Bujumbura and rolling out a full Young People Programme cycle.

We were especially proud to have former Goma photography teacher .lunanga help launch the program — and capture these beautiful first moments 📸

Even in times of uncertainty, our commitment to youth voices and visual storytelling never stops 💪
