Short Description
The Association named “Camille Lepage – On est ensemble” was founded on September 20, 2014, only months after the death of the photojournalist Camille Lepage while reporting in the Central African Republic.
The association was set up by her family (her parents Maryvonne & Guy Lepage and brother Adrien) to commemorate Camille, her work and commitment, to provide assistance and protection for photojournalists working in conflict areas, to support communities that are victims of such conflicts, and, while doing so, to promote values that were so important to Camille.
