Our Planet matters

Images and visual stories inspire people to act. We can use photography as an effective tool for positive social change and clearly link it to combat climate change, poverty alleviation and the wider Millennium Development Goals. Social Geographic is a non-profit foundation. We exist to support the social campaign to make the world a better place to live.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out —
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out —
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out —
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out —
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me —
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

    "Firoz Ahmad Firoz aka Social Geographic is special to me -- for his honest photos of women and girls and for the cause he represents, a call to act against the everlasting lack of respect toward women the world over in all its guises. It is well that you give us the shocking facts underneath each "Ladli" who looks into your lens."

    "Social Geographic’s photo stream serves as a conscience of Flickr. Beautiful and powerful photos reveal injustices that abound. The commentaries always remind us that we have the power to make positive change in the world. The Flickr community is tremendously enriched through Social Geographic's work."

    "Conocer esta galeria y la labor que hace tan desinteresada....ha sido todo un honor para mi encontrarla. Escribo este testimonio desde mi corazón. Nos muestra imagenes de la vida....de esa vida que muchos no quieren ver. Retratos que me han hecho sonreir .....y llorar.
    Nos muestra la existencia de la supervivencia .....olvidada por muchos. Lo básico de la vida.....la propia vida en si. Retratos magnificos...pasajes ...historias humanas mostradas por un corazón enorme. Cuanto mas se mira esta galeria ....mas crecen los corazones...mas se aprende de la vida., nos abraza con ellas.
    Nos muestra sonrisas claras, miradas inocentes..... transparentes... luchas por un mundo mejor.
    Nos deja ver horizontes de esperanzas e ilusiones....en las miradas.
    Inocentes dando la luz que necesita el mundo......
    Social Geographic es alguien a quien todos deberiamos tener de contacto......para no olvidar que somos mas que nosotros mismos."

    "Photography at its most noble form: to help the next disseminating moments of life, dealing with the photographic lens most - too often - disadvantaged human conditions and offering in exchange endless smiles and so much Hope to the Needy. Thanks for what you do, you are teaching all of us a clear and strong message of brotherhood."

    "Social Geographic's images burn into your soul. She shares a dynamic range of girls and women in various stages of life that evoke powerful emotions. Her raw photography often stops me in my tracks and makes me reflect on my life. She captures their eyes and their spirit and well.....its just stunning. Not to mention her message to the world and conciousness about ending violence and poverty. AMAZING WORK!"

    "The photostream of Social Geographic takes us on a fascinating, aesthetic and eclectic tour of India. The images, almost exclusively of girls and women, speak of a wide spectrum of humanity. The viewer is drawn into the Indian environment and its myriad variety of humanity. There is an important message to be learned here. It’s worth the visit!"
