Supporting Youth in Contexts of Conflict and Crisis

To close out this USAID-funded activity that supports youth with learning and workforce skills and opportunities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I created a photobook with assets by a local Congolese youth photojournalist. Her photos beautifully illustrate the impact of the project and the context of life in the DRC. I wanted some light animation so the viewer could take their time through the publication. Social media helped promote the photobook.

I also created a final report that accompanies the photobook as a deliverable to the funder upon close-out of the project.
