The folks behind Motif Photos — the macOS and iOS app for creating photo books, calendars and cards — have announced a partnership with 100cameras, a non-profit organization that provides educational programs to children and communities across the globe who have experienced challenging circumstances.
The partnership will empower Motif to print and donate a limited edition photo book containing a worldwide curation of photos across 100cameras programs to date. Through its educational programs, 100cameras teaches these children how to tell stories through photography in a way that impacts how they view themselves, and their role in their community. 100cameras also provides them with a platform to sell their photographs, giving 100% of the proceeds to fund the most pressing needs in their communities and enabling them to see the impact of their contribution.
Alongside the work 100cameras does with local communities around the world, Motif, a subsidiary of RRD – Apple’s printing partner – will print and donate photo books to be used to further the organization’s mission. Motif will also print and distribute a special limited edition photo book, “A Worldwide Lens,” with participant photos representing all worldwide programs to date.
The worldwide photo book will be available for purchase on the 100cameras website beginning this month. Proceeds from each sale will go back to the students’ local community organizations to fund much-needed supplies.
100cameras has also created a free, online activities workshop in direct response to COVID-19 and the World Health Organization’s suggestion to utilize creativity as a tool to support mental health for youth during this time. The activities are written to help young people experiencing any new or familiar challenges of isolation, fear, worry, or sadness that have surfaced during COVID-19. The tool teaches young people to express their feelings through the power of photography.
