Exhibit Abstract

This photo essay shows how VillageReach is confronting the challenges posed by dirt roads and remote locations. The organisation undertakes delivery of vaccines and other medication to clinics in Cabo Delgado Province and other parts of Mozambique several times a month. Through support to gas supplier Vidigas, VillageReach also helps ensure that clinics in rural areas have the means to ensure cold storage of vaccines.

Immunisation plays a critical role in the provision of basic health services to the population of a country. However, it can be difficult to get vaccines to communities in remote rural areas:poor road networks and inadequate transportation, as well as a lack of cold storage facilities for vaccines, often result in outlying settlements going without this vitally-important medication.

I use photography as a means of self-expression. Whilst studying communication science, I realised that I need a medium I could use to cut across language barriers because in South Africa alone, we have eleven official languages of which I only speak two. In my photography I wish to tell stories that can impact people’s lives.

When I work with my camera, I’m reminded that I have to use veracity when dealing with my subjects. Colour and light are two elements I enjoy exploring in my photography. My awareness of my environment is often shown in the themes that I choose; I want to create meaning with my images.

I’ve worked on issues like teenage pregnancies, land reform, drugs and I’ve done work for an NGO. The issues I dealt with inform, educate and create awareness to viewers. I strive to constantly achieve visually engaging work.
