At ShelterBox we are driven to amplify the voices of the people we support. Ethical storytelling is a core part of this – by challenging ourselves to always put people, and the issues they face, at the heart of what we do.
In Cameroon we’re running a co-creation storytelling project with eight participants who live in Minawao Refugee Camp.

What do we mean by co-creation?
Over six months, we will run 12 storytelling workshops and training sessions. These will equip participants with the tools and skills to share their experiences. We have the privilege of running this project alongside our amazing local partner, Public Concern. Together we hope to listen to and capture authentic stories told directly from those who know them best.
The stories which the community produce will be shared throughout 2024 as our group of participants will take over a series of ShelterBox supporter emails, meaning they can share whatever stories they wish directly with you. Sign up to our emails now so you don’t miss out!
We are excited to continue championing community voices; keeping people, and the issues they face, at the heart of our project.

This project gave me the opportunity to have the technique and method of telling a story, because I love writing and I consider myself a writer. I did it without any real technique but I learned to improve and take photos that tell a story
