Hands by Hands

Project overview

Hands By Hands is a social-impact project founded by Fatema Alkhateeb that helps newcomers in Canada find meaningful work and integrate into their communities. We connect skilled newcomers, such as home cooks, cleaners, and artisans, with families and small businesses that need their services. We’re looking for a photographer to capture one powerful photo and a short story that show how newcomers are contributing their skills and positively impacting the community. Your work will help spread awareness about the project’s mission and inspire others.

Scope of work

Take one high-quality photo that represents Hands By Hands’ mission and the impact on the community. Write a short storytelling caption (about 100–150 words) to accompany the photo. Deliver the photo and text ready for online or social media use.

Preferred Skills or Experience

Experience in storytelling or documentary-style photography. Ability to capture emotion, authenticity, and community impact in a single image. Strong writing or captioning skills to pair the image with a meaningful story. Sensitivity and respect when working with newcomers and community members.

Submission details

One or two examples of your storytelling or documentary-style photography. A short note on how you would approach capturing this story. Your timeline and project quote for one photo and one short story. Extra note for encouragement: This project will make a real difference in the community, and your contribution will be appreciated for the positive impact it creates. While our budget currently allows for only one photo and story, your work will be recognized and remembered for the meaningful role it plays in supporting newcomers.
