2. Fostered employee engagement

3. Produced tailored, authentic creative output
– Authentic photographs and media produced by the women reached were used in corporate reports


Economic empowerment:

The photography competition provided participants with the experience of working on a real-life commission, the chance for thousands of people to see their photographs and the opportunity to be paid for their photography. The bank also supported the girls in opening bank accounts as the first step in financial resilience and economic empowerment.
