Middle East Images Foundation is committed to making a positive social impact through the sharing of visual narratives of the region. One way that the Foundation seeks to achieve this goal is by portraying critical global topics such as climate change, conflicts, and women’s rights through the lens of experienced local photographers.

By sharing these visual narratives with the world, the Foundation can help to raise awareness about the challenges and opportunities facing the Middle East and North Africa, and can contribute to a greater understanding and appreciation of the region’s rich and diverse cultures. Through its work, the Foundation aims to uplift a visual narrative of the Middle East from within, where local photographers with a global vision can continue to document their homeland long-term and share their perspectives with the rest of the world.

In addition to sharing visual narratives of the Middle East and North Africa, the Foundation is also committed to making a positive social impact through its educational programs and initiatives. By providing educational opportunities for budding photographers and journalists in the region, the Foundation can help to build the capacity of these individuals to document and share their stories with the world, and can contribute to the development of a more vibrant and free media landscape in the region.

The social impact work of the Middle East Images Foundation is an important part of its mission to promote journalism education in the region and to build the capacity of local photographers and journalists to document and share their stories with the world. By sharing visual narratives of the Middle East and North Africa and supporting the development of journalism education in the region, the Foundation can make a positive social impact and contribute to a greater understanding and appreciation of the region’s rich and diverse cultures.
