How is your money used?
Silent Images takes your donation very seriously. We keep all of our administrative costs as low as possible in order to send the maximum amount of funds to people in need. As David Johnson is the only full-time employee for Silent Images, we rely heavily upon part-time workers, volunteers, and interns to complete the remainder of our work. The bottom line is that Silent Images’ mission and purpose is to give back to the people in our photographs. The money from book sales is NOT used to pay salaries; we continue to donate 100% of our profits from the book sales back to the people in the photographs.
Since 2007, Silent Images has donated more than $75,000 to other nonprofits and served more than 50 nonprofits around the world with photography and videography.
In 2011, your donations helped:
1. Serve 18 nonprofits with photography and videography in Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Haiti and the U.S.
2. Provide $4,000 in micro-loans and skills training to women in Central Africa through Hope International
3. Provide $4,500 toward education for girls in Ethiopia through SIM
4. Provide $2,000 for water for the people of Sudan through Persecution Project
5. Provide $1,000 in food for the people of Somalia through MANA Nutrition
6. Provide a free photography class to homeless children in Charlotte
7. Educate more than 20,000 people as David traveled to Canada, TX, VA, MI, GA, AR, PN, KY and NC to speak to universities, primary schools, churches and civic groups about global issues
