“I am one of the privileged ones who get to travel across our beautiful continent of Africa. I count myself incredibly lucky to see its beauty. The scenic landscapes — from lush green forests and plains to deserts — are all so visually inspiring.

But, I can promise you from first-hand experience, it is the people that make this continent unique. Each time I get to travel to one of our programme countries, I am most excited about meeting new, amazing people and seeing all the beautiful faces; faces that tell stories…

The strength behind the eyes of mothers, the smiles and laughter of a child, the pride held in a community elder’s wrinkles… These are the sights that inspire me to do what I do.

We always receive warm greetings from the communities we visit and I love seeing how they grow into their own strength. I believe in this continent because I believe in its people.” — Sulette Theron, ForAfrika Chief Photographer
