YouthHubAfrica is organising the Girls Documenting Covid-19 project to train young girls to carry out a documentary exercise of their experiences and that of their neighbours during this pandemic and the eventual lockdown of schools. The 8 young girls were selected from all parts of the country.
The project begins with training on photography and videography skills to train the girls on how to tell their stories during this lockdown. The girls will be expected to carry out activities in the project in their different communities using camera phones that have been handed over to them by taking snapshots of their daily activities and recording videos of specific weekly assignments that would be given to them.
The project is expected to equip girls with basic knowledge of photography, videography and storytelling skills, exposing challenges girls have faced during the Covid-19 lockdown to provide opportunities for further programming plans to be designed to cushion the effects, and bring to the fore awareness of living challenges young girls have encountered during the lockdown for further policy direction. These are their stories:
