In pictures: South African mothers with cameras

Documenting their lives brought unexpected benefits to many of the women.

Some received money after their photographs were sold at an art exhibition in the US, and Funeka, who took this picture, was one of two women sponsored to attend photography school by one of the project’s co-creators.

Funeka likes taking pictures to show that HIV-positive people can be "fresh and healthy".
