The Kabareebe Models 4 Charity CEO was again overwhelmed by one of the models under her management who was also honored at the same awards.

Sharon Kiyimba Promise, a 17-year-old Ugandan fashion model, was also recognized as an International Young Model Achiever.

“You have chosen this path among many careers because of the drive and love you have for it, so far in your endeavors, you have already caused great impacts by inspiring others to join you and that’s a good start. Congratulations on your achievements so far,” said IPA about Sharon.

IPA seeks to bring out the innovative and creative abilities of individuals communicating through photography while appreciating and celebrating their hard work.

Over the years, photography has been given less attention in many parts of the world, if not most, but Africa has the least attention.

Photography is the ultimate tool that leaves a trail for posterity to follow and learn as well. It is one of the few communication tools that deliver, with ease, the true intent of a thought or an event.

Since the beginning of IPA Awards in 2018 to-date, the awards have had nominees filed from various countries including Australia, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, Tanzania, Togo, Benin, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States, Iran, and India.

Congratulations Doreen and Sharon!
