What is Snap foundation?
A ‘picture can speak a thousand words’ when words can seem elusive or inadequate.
In the townships of South Africa Snap delivers educational photographic projects to people in challenged environments. This gives everyone the ability to express themselves through images of the world they are experiencing, sometimes in the most difficult circumstances. We bring photographic and moving image students and professionals from around the world to teach the children of the townships how to tell their stories.
