Ripple Effect highlights, through photos, the programs that are helping to empower these women, especially as they deal with the devastating effects of climate change.
Their photographs, video, and stories are donated to the Ripple Effect Images Archive, made available at no cost, to partner aid organizations and policymakers who are working to help poor women.
"People around the world really underestimate women. They’re often seen as victims and that’s not the way they want to be viewed. Those are the stories that I want to tell through my photographs."
