Timeline: Zana Briski moved to Calcutta in 1997 and started photography classes with Red Light district children from 2000-2003, before making the Born
into Brothels documentary that would launch awareness of this endeavour around the world. Kids with Cameras began in 2002 to start raising more money
for these children through their own artwork, which grew into a partnership with Kids with Destinyincluding pivotal connections to the Mercy Hospital in
Calcutta. Through these collaborations, multiple projects formed (ranging from Hope Laundry to the upcoming Hope House) all with the united goal of
empowering impoverished children and their families to pursue a prolific and joyful life beyond the entrapment of this district. While many of these projects
are fairly well established already, the Hope House is still in construction and will hopefully be completed and operational by the end of this year.
Budget: According to Guidestar.org, the total 2001 revenue of Kids with Destiny was $239,112, while their total expenses were $232,250. I expect that both of
these numbers have increased in the last 3 years, although the organization has plans to help fund itself through internal sustainable means such as the Hope
Laundry business run through Mercy Hospital.
