ABOUT RALEIGH AND FIELDBASE

Raleigh is a sustainable development charity that works with young people in remote areas to improve sanitation, access to safe water, and protect vulnerable communities. This is carried out in a number of ways, through health and hygiene education and overseeing the construction of community toilet blocks (WASH projects), sharing sustainable farming and reforestation methods (NRM projects) and teaching entrepreneurial business skills (LIVELIHOODS projects).

I worked with Raleigh Tanzania as the expedition photographer. I worked on different assignments documenting projects, communities and funding organisations, as well as supplying marketing photographs for the charity. I also had the opportunity to stay with the many people who were indirectly impacted by the project work. I was stationed at fieldbase in Morogorro which is a four hour drive west of Dar Es Salaam. Fieldbase is where various teams look after the training, operations, logistics and medical needs of the expedition.
