  • Cameras For Kids Foundation, Inc.

  • Cameras For Kids Foundation, Inc. is a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) nonprofit public charitable organization founded in 2009 by Fine Art Photographer Betsey Chesler.


    In the past, Betsey has volunteered at a number of Orphanages in South Africa, and that experience has allowed her to focus on the needs of children living without parents.  Worldwide there are 146 million children living in foster care and in the United States alone, there are currently over 500,000.


    Cameras For Kids Foundation  is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the abandoned children by exposing the teens to the process of creating art through a camera's lens. CFKF uses photography to capture participants imaginations, to empower them, build confidence, self-esteem and open a whole new world for them to visualize and create.
