Our own photographs

The photographs of Lift A Life Foundation at work — on the home page, across the site, and heading the articles listed below — are our own. They are published with the written consent of the people who appear in them.

Library photographs

Some of our articles are general explainers rather than reports of our own work. We would rather illustrate those with a library photograph than use a picture of somebody we serve to decorate a subject they have nothing to do with. The photographs below were published by their creators under Creative Commons licences or in the public domain, and are credited here as those licences require. They show other people, in other places, and are not photographs of our work.
