Chloe Cheng's Company Details
Our Mission: Lensational is a non-profit social enterprise, founded on the International Women's Day of 2013,with the mission of equipping women in the developing world with cameras and photographytraining.Our Vision: We envision a world where women and girls are no longer suppressed of their thoughts and emotions. We believe that photography can achieve the empowerment of women on two levels:(1) Emotional Empowerment: Gaining access to cameras gives them a new way to express themselves freely and to retain memories. Therapeutic photography is also a proven counselling technique to overcome social isolation.(2) Economic Empowerment: They will receive 50% of the revenue if their photographs are sold through Lensational's online platform and partner agencies. With photography skills, they can also pursue freelance photography opportunities.About Us:Lensational was inspired by the experience of two young women from Hong Kong, Bonnie Chiu and Peggy Tse, in Turkey, where they discovered that photography is an universal language that overcomes all barriers. From a team of 2 in Hong Kong, it has expanded to 40 volunteers globally from 15 nationalities, with our largest hubs in Hong Kong, London, Lahore and Dhaka. As a social enterprise, Lensational has 3 key activities: 1) Collecting second-hand digital cameras; 2) Conducting photography training; 3) Selling of photographs.
