The money will fund the development of Hope House, a safe haven for children of the red-light district in Calcutta that will provide them with a place to learn and thrive. Hope House will shelter up to 100 girls, where they can live, and develop the strength and skills to change their own circumstances while remaining connected to their families.

About Kids with Cameras:
In 1997, New York-based photographer Zana Briski moved to Calcutta to live amongst impoverished women and children of the red-light district and document their stories in pictures. Realizing the children were fascinated with her camera, she began to teach them the basics of photography and in 2002, "Kids with Cameras" was born.

Kids with Cameras raises money and awareness for the children through print sales, exhibitions, film festivals and a book of their work. The children's images have been exhibited in Calcutta, Europe and all over the U.S. Funds raised through Kids with Cameras has supported the education of several children from the original photography workshop - one of the children has completed his secondary schooling in Utah and is now studying film at NYU Tisch School for the Arts.
