As part of our Alternative Livelihoods and Vocational Training Programme, we supported young people in Thanlyin to take part in Photography 101 Training, delivered in partnership with international photographer Patricia Esteve.

From capturing their first images to turning everyday moments into meaningful visual stories, young people built confidence, strengthened technical skills, and discovered new ways to express their perspectives.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Patricia Esteve for her generous partnership, inspiring guidance, and commitment to empowering young people through creative learning and visual storytelling.

In peri-urban communities where opportunities are often limited, creative learning spaces like this can open new pathways for skills development, self-expression, and future livelihoods.
