Empowering Kids Through Movement, Discipline & Joy

An initiative created by Ellen Guiney

Child’s well-being is essential to learning and creativity, a principle fully aligned with UNESCO’s vision of holistic education.

Sport⚡Spark, created by triathlete Ellen Guiney from Australia, brings simple, playful, and accessible physical activities next to our workshops to support disadvantaged children.

Through movement, teamwork, and confidence-building exercises, Sport Spark helps kids stay focused, feel stronger, and express themselves more freely — in life and through photography.

Healthy body, healthy mind, brighter stories.

Sports Equipment

Help fund the equipment and opportunities for young athletes.

Ongoing & Upcoming Events

Kids Snapshots — Giving Campaign

We are looking for partners — foundations, companies, and individuals — to provide underprivileged children with cameras, other photography equipment, photo software, and educational books, along with creative and learning opportunities. Through financial and in-kind support, our partners help young people express themselves, develop their skills, and envision brighter futures.

Sport Spark — Giving Campaign

Sport Spark brings the power of sport to children who need it most. Through fun, inclusive events and donated equipment, we help kids build confidence, discover new activities, and ignite a spark that can transform their lives.

Pilot Program Launch – March 2026

Kids & Sparks will launch its pilot program in March 2026, bringing creative workshops, photography activities and sports initiatives to underprivileged children. This pilot will help us test and refine our approach, laying the foundation for a global impact.

Photo Stories articles for Kids Launch – March 2026

Children can create 1–3 original photos using cameras and editing tools, with each image featured in a blog post to share their unique story with the world.

Backstage Gallery Launch – March 2026

The Backstage Gallery showcases authentic moments from the Kids & Sparks activities — children learning, creating, doing sport, and collaborating with their mentors. These behind-the-scenes images reveal the energy, joy, and connection that bring the project to life, offering visitors a genuine glimpse into our mission in action.

This concept is unique in the world because it combines professional photography workshops with the opportunity for underprivileged children to learn, tell their own stories through their photos, while also bringing gifts and engaging them in sports activities, all showcased through exhibitions, publications, and awards.
