If the stories on this website move you, take action now and see how easy it is to make a difference. With any amount, large or small, every single dollar pledged to the campaigns listed here gets directed toward the communities documented in these photographs. Your tax-deductible contributions are administered through Venice Arts and distributed to Reencontro, a Mozambican charity and key partner of The House is Small but the Welcome is Big. Reencontro provides direct support to each child involved in this project.

Remember to include your e-mail so that we can help you track the impact of your giving. Your contributions help initiate and sustain efforts that create real change for real people. This website is designed to help you monitor that change, and to share its stories in both words and images. See how little it takes to make a difference in the lives of other people in this world.

 NEXT GOAL: $10,000 

It costs only $10,000 a year to sustain a year-round photography program for the kids in Maputo. Contributions to this campaign help engage kids with photographing their stories, learning communication skills, and sharing with the world.

Your generous participation has helped complete funding goals for Year One of the photo program. We're now building funding for Year Two!

I want my kids to have warm shelter, bright future and good education. My family to accept me. I want to own a house, to be independent, have a good job so I can raise my children -- to educate them.
