The Daniel Malka Photo Project inc. (Federal and Quebec Registered Non Profit Corporation Number 813173-2, NEQ: 1168331594 ) was founded in Montreal, Canada by Daniel Malka, Msc., photographer, writer and lecturer. After working for over 20 years as an advertising, editorial, and fine art photographer in Europe and North America, Daniel Malka has decided to focus all his experience and efforts in helping marginalized and at risk children around the globe. The Malka Photo Project’s mission is to use innovative methods to train young photographers on location in various countries. Marginalized groups of children between the ages of 5 and 15 will be provided with digital cameras and trained in the basics of photography. The Project aims to encourage projects on all continents, in collaboration with NGOs, charities and community organizations already on site, creating a worldwide community of young photographers, sharing their world through their eyes. "How They See" is the first project in Ruka, Cusco Peru. The following presentation is an example of a successful project run in Peru. We are preparing 2 more projects in Peru.
