Guests admire photographs at the exhibition fundraiser, "100cameras: Through the Lens of a Child,” at Hamilton Galleries  on Saturday, June 2, 2012.  100cameras empowers marginalized children to document their lives through photography and to create positive change in their own communities. 100% of the money from the children's purchased prints is used to raise awareness and capital to meet physical needs and empower sustainable growth within their community.

100Cameras was co-founded by four women who live in New York City on the premise that a child could take a camera inside their own community in ways that an outside photographer could not. In late 2008, the first photography project was implemented in Sudan. Upon completion, the first photography exhibit was hosted inside a matchbox apartment on the Upper East Side. Over 80 people attended that evening, and interest in the project drastically grew. Two months later, the exhibition officially launched in The Samsung Experience located in The Time Warner Center. By spring of 2009, 100cameras was officially incorporated, and the second project was launched in NYC. By 2010, 100cameras had hosted events across the country, and announced their third project was going to gain inside access to Cuba.
