TB SITES http://tbphotovoice.org/ The TB PhotoVoice Project
provides cameras to tuberculosis (TB) affected community members (survivors, caregivers, friends,
family) who take photographs that help them identify and improve their communities. The photographs
represent what is happening in the participants’ lives and serve as a point for discussion
about what can be done to change the present situation in regards to TB, stigma, education and related
issues. These photographs and their accompanying narratives give a face and voice to TB.
