Our Policies
Our Gender Policy
At Cameras For Girls, our Gender Policy is at the heart of our commitment to fostering equity and inclusivity.
While we advocate for equal opportunities for individuals of all genders globally, our special focus lies in addressing the unique challenges faced by women in the male-dominated media industry across Africa.
We recognize and actively work towards dismantling gender biases prevalent in this space, striving to create a more level playing field for women pursuing careers in media.
Our dedication to enhancing options for women in Africa reflects our belief in empowering individuals, irrespective of gender, and building a more diverse and representative media landscape.
Gift Policy (Canada)
Our Canadian Gift Policy at Cameras For Girls embraces a variety of contributions to support our mission.
We welcome individual donations, in-kind camera donations, support through donor-assisted funds (DAF), corporate donations, and sponsorship.
Donors can conveniently make contributions through the various channels available on our website's donation page.
As a token of our gratitude, all donations made within Canada are eligible for a tax receipt, reflecting the redemption value of the contribution.
Gift Policy (International)
Our International Gift Policy at Cameras For Girls extends our appreciation for the support from a global community.
We gladly accept individual donations, in-kind camera contributions, and corporate sponsorship or donations to further our mission internationally.
However, it's important to note that as of now, we are not registered as a charity outside Canada. Consequently, we regret that we are unable to provide tax receipts for international donations.
Nevertheless, we remain deeply grateful for the generosity of our international supporters, and their contributions play a pivotal role in empowering our young women across Africa.
