| Organization Description: | |
| The mission of TB Photovoice(TBPV) is to use images, stories and dialogue to elevate the voices of individuals directly impacted by Tuberculosis so that they, as well as their communities, can improve their overall health. The heart of our work is using the method of Photovoice,a method through which local people document their health realities using a specific photographic technique to promote healthful public policy. •A small group of persons affected by TB come together with a trained TB Photovoice facilitator and use cameras to document their everyday life and health experiences. •The group share and examine their personal photos and stories with their peers. •Their photos and stories often reflect the stigma, discrimination, and challenges associated with TB. Their perspectives stress the need for person centered care, improved TB prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. •Participants amplify their messages through forums, health events, community dialogues, live exhibitions, and other creative and strategic methods. Their photos and accompanying narratives give a face and voice to TB. TB Photovoice Provides: •4-day TB Photovoice implementation training for community organizations. This ensures a strong group foundation, adapted for each site. •Program and evaluation support throughout the TB Photovoice process. •Media training and resources for TB Photovoice sites to maximize their TB messages to their community. •Logistical support to TB Photovoice groups to amplify their stories and photos throughout the globe. |
