Summary of work with BWEF:

BTE Network partnered with BWEF in 2020 to unearth the treasure of the stories of people in the community of Hammanskraal and Ga-Mphahlele in Polokwane. Our goal is to capture stories through the medium of photography and film to tell the stories of these communities alongside the young people of these communities. The main goal being to pass on skills and entrepreneurial knowhow to these young people so that they can learn to tell their own stories profitably and sustainably.
