PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

Rhun, Ay & Selamon

"Through the photovoices program, I was able to raise the issue of natural disasters. Various events that have affected our community since 2000 have only truly come to light through this program”

RAJIB HAYOTO, PVI-CTC BANDA PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, SELAMON VILLAGE

WORDS FROM OUR PARTNERS

“This program engages communities by giving them space to speak through images that effectively portray the conditions around them. Various issues that may have previously been overlooked were brought to light by participants from Rhun, Ay, and Selamon. Disaster risk, for example, is an issue that had not received much attention before. Through this process, the three villages were able to document the conditions and experiences of their respective communities. The 35 photographs exhibited have prompted reflection for all of us, particularly the local government, on how we can provide better services to communities so that they can live more prosperous lives, especially in the context of environmental sustainability.”

Hengki Tomassoa, Head of the Central Maluku Regency Environmental Agency
