With Nick and Rory’s experience as leading figures in the field of photography and writing, with their dedication and numerous contacts in the media worldwide and a team of talented World Vision communication personnel we aim to make sure a discussion around the MDGs and post-MDGs is heard and seen by as many people as possible across the globe. Both Nick and Rory’s previous work for international organisations such as the ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross], IOM [International Organisation of Migrations], Oxfam, and others has had a track record of influencing policy decisions, which translates into a positive impact for people living in difficult circumstances.

PRESS AND MEDIA CAMPAIGN NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY Nick and Rory regularly have their work published in magazines and newspapers worldwide.

The first two parts of the project were financed by World Vision and a mix of funding from grants from foundations, prize money, personal donations and the sale of collector’s prints.

We have much in place to produce our third and final part of our planned goal – we are on our way to funding this last step. We believe that this body of work focusing on what has and hasn’t changed in people’s lives across the world over a decade can make a difference, we feel confident that this work will have the exposure it needs to be seen worldwide.
