Photo-Voice

with African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC) and Mum, Baby and Love, Household of Love Centre (HOLC) trained the members of Kibera and Korogocho communities on Photo-voice.

Photovoice is a qualitative method used for community-based hands-on research to document and reflect reality. It is an empowering and flexible process that combines photography with grassroots social action and is commonly used in the fields of community development, international development, public health, and education.

Participants were asked to express their points of view as they represent their communities, by photographing scenes that highlighted the Food Security status within the two communities. After the photographs were taken, they were stuck on manila paper and narrations appended below the photos to explain the different scenarios. Thus, putting a voice to the pictures that had been taken. These photos were used during the community dialogues and they proved to be a very effective way of communicating with the other stakeholders.
