The people. The proof.

Documentary photography from the Lolo community development project — every pillar of the journey from aid to self-sufficiency.

🌾 Food
The Fish Farm — Aerial View
10 earthen ponds carved into the red laterite soil, filled with water and ready for stocking. The foundation of community self-sufficiency.
💧 Water
Clean Water Flows
Solar-powered borehole pumping 10,000 litres daily. Elevated storage tank and solar panels visible. The first pillar — complete.
🌾 Food
First Harvest
Community members wade into the drained pond with nets. Women and children sort the catch on the embankment above.
🌾 Food
Building the Ponds
Community members dig fish ponds by hand — the scale of manual labour is staggering. Real work, real progress.
💧 Water
Permanence at Sunset
The elevated water tank silhouetted against the African sunset. This infrastructure will be here long after the project team has gone home.
📚 Education
The Classroom
Natural light streams through open windows. A teacher instructs children at wooden desks. Basic but functional — and funded by the fish farm.
💼 Livelihoods
Market Day
Fresh catfish for sale at the local market. Surplus fish create income, jobs, and an economy that doesn't depend on outside funding.
💼 Livelihoods
The Harvest — Up Close
Freshly harvested catfish packed in a basin. These fish grew in the ponds, fed by the water system. The model works.
💧 Water
Solar Power Installation
Workers install solar panels to power the borehole pump. No fuel costs, no moving parts — clean energy for clean water.
💧 Water
Water For Home
Clean water carried home along the red laterite paths of the camp. Before the borehole, this walk was kilometres longer.
🌾 Food
From the Ground Up
Working hands hold red Cameroon earth and a tiny seedling. The core metaphor of everything we do.
💼 Livelihoods
Community Governance
Decisions are made together. The community management committee meets to plan operations, allocate resources, and solve problems collectively.
🌾 Full Ecosystem
The Full Picture
Fish ponds, water infrastructure, community, forest — all interconnected. From aid to independence, one community at a time.
