Training a group of young residents from the Al-Gamaliya neighborhood in Cairo in visual arts and photography, enabling them to capture their neighborhood through their unique perspectives. The workshop culminated in an exhibition showcasing their photographic works, which were later gifted to the participants. This initiative aimed to disseminate artistic culture among the youth of the area, positively impacting all its residents. Additionally, it sought to highlight the beauty of the region, rich in historical sites, and to equip participants with new skills that empowered them to express themselves and document their daily lives.

Photo essays about families that live in the Al Sayeda Zainab graveyards and how they struggle to transform their circumstances into a better life through work and educating their children, refusing to remain passive and expect assistance from others. This project aims to use the power of image to promote these stories of struggle by highlighting them and circulating them to newspapers and websites, and eventually organizing an exhibition of these photos in an open place in that area.
