WORDS FROM OUR PARTNERS

“The sustainability of Banda can never be secured without the involvement of its own communities. This is where the Photovoices Program finds its spirit. Participants do not simply produce photographs; they bring their perspectives, voice their concerns, and express their hopes.”

Zulkarnain Awat Amir, S.P., M.A.P., Regent of Central Maluku
