Teenage boys from various war-torn regions in central Africa, compete in a 'pick up' game of football. Sport is seen as a welcome relief from the daily monotony of life in the settlement and a positive outlet for those dealing with psychological issues. Many arrivals to Nakivale feel they have little or nothing to live for. These people are living in a permanent state of limbo. Not able to repatriate for fear of death, unable to immigrate and re-settlement abroad as remote as a lottery win. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599440152888-GB157U3M5WLJ3I512U45/_MG_0579.JPG Trauma - Africa Gulu. Uganda. For many victims, solace is found in faith and the Bible points to forgiveness as a means to overcome past hurt. Faith is an important component to many that have been affected by conflict. While not addressing any psychological issues, learning to ‘forgive’ and move forward in life is an important step in the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599440355150-LP6Y7T9LTJMEYLM5EQX1/_MG_1574-Edit.JPG Trauma - Africa Nakivale, Uganda. Children take it upon themselves to stage a rally, protesting the increasing violence in the camp towards women. Approximately 400,000 reports of rape are recorded annually against women in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many flee the DRC after becoming victims of rape and find themselves in refugee settlements in neighbouring Uganda but as the settlements grow, so does crime and sexual violence toward women within the camp is becoming a worrying issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599439854877-X0VU6PHA3978IU1RPC3O/_MG_0988-Edit.JPG Trauma - Africa Nakivale refugee settlement, Uganda. Like many women from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Juliette Kurungi fled across the border into Uganda after her brutal rape and the murder of her two year old twins.

Kenneth Banya is a man that has perpetrated many acts of evil. One of Kony’s commanders for the duration of the LRA war in Uganda and South Sudan, he was responsible for thousands of deaths, and rape across northern Uganda. A self-confessed “man of the devil, focused on bloodshed” he claims to have found God and after “a lot of finger pointing because I was in the bush with the LRA”, he sits openly, without fear of reprisal, amongst fellow parishner’s on Sundays service in Gulu. https://www.chris-hopkins.com.au/raceriots daily 0.75 2018-03-20

stares through the window at the Islamic government school she attends with her brother Pandin in Matatonan. Her parents receive financial benefits for sending the two children to school and it is illegal for children to not attend. The school she attends is run with military precision, teaching reading, writing, arithmetic and religious studies, skills that, while of great benefit on mainland Indonesia, will offer only a slim chance of employment on the islands.

Aman Masit Dere, is a medicine man or Sikerei of the indigenous tribal community that inhabit the inland jungles and mountains of the Mentawai islands west of Sumatra, Indonesia. His leathery skin is covered in tattoos and his lean muscular physique is emblematic of an uncompromising jungle life. Until now he has managed to reject modern influence and instead continues to capitalize on an in-depth knowledge of the jungles foods, medicines and building resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599445951675-7LG12EB9T5HTHF2WNH34/_DSF0705.JPG Indigenous people of the Mentawai, Indonesia A pigs heart is inspected by the Sikerei and their sons, after it was sacrificed to appease the spirits and provide food for those at a ceremony.

A practise that is becoming less common as their culture fades, the identity shaping markings, or Titi, are worryingly seen by younger generations as a curiosity rather than a symbol of cultural importance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599446728131-QANK6F5CZ4RQYYMM7MX1/_DSF3692.JPG Indigenous people of the Mentawai, Indonesia Masit Dere performs a tooth sharpening ritual. The procedure is performed less and less as Mentawai women continually look to the western world for what is deemed to be 'beauty'. The ritual has different purposes dependent upon which region it is performed. Some say it is a practical tool so that a new mother can break down solid foods to feed her babies with greater ease. Others, like in the Sarereiket region (pictured here) say it is a beautification technique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599446415089-1PWVI5PZ02SMBMRPL12N/_DSF0539.JPG Indigenous people of the Mentawai, Indonesia A healthy Renti (l) stares outside the Uma as Ukan and Pandin play after school. As Masit Dere's youngest son, Pandin (r) is the next in line to be Sikerei due to Kacau's (Masit Dere's eldest son) move to Matatonan. Pandin does not share the same love of Arat Sabulangan as Jumer does and as he attends the village school it would seem that Masit Dere is the last in his lineage to be Sikerei. “The future of Mentawai culture survives with our children and our role is to teach them this knowledge.” says Masit Dere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599445628206-LT8955XEMJNVS4SBRMCX/_DSF3503.JPG Indigenous people of the Mentawai, Indonesia Muara Port Siberut is the only town of note on the main island of Siberut, and also a drop off point for surfers looking to ride the world-famous surf breaks surrounding the islands. A seeming oasis for young Mentawai with dreams of working on the chartered boats and surf resorts, the settlement town is in fact a mirage, with little to no opportunity for employment and a lack of infrastructure to sustain growth.

Now isolated from the homeless community Asha enjoys his time alone and finds the relative calm of his new 'home' a relief. “When a child is abused he will seek solace anywhere, anyhow.

A small community centre- the Wyndham Community Education Centre, WCEC- has taken the advice of the elders of the community and now teaches the refugees the history of Australia, both indigenous and colonised. The intent is to provide them a sense of place -a home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599191670915-6LJQZVABQKTVCT08SSO2/_DSF7757.JPG ASense https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599191430560-OEMXLANMUGVN3SYVB0Q7/_HOP9876.JPG ASense Wyndham Vale, Melbourne.

The ingredients that combine to provide the sense of place are many, and the methods to assist can be as diverse as the minority groups themselves. It is apparent that the hope, and learning, cultural preservation and contributions to society that are shared experiences amongst this particular community, are all geared towards a common goal – preserving a better future for their children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1599191806104-W7IY9WTURUPVK6CD4CWN/_DSF6400.JPG ASense Wyndham, Melbourne.

He is at the forefront of a small social enterprise growing out of the local Karen people skills as weavers.

Buwenge, Uganda. 16-year-old Moses sits alone in a pool of his own urine outside a community health outreach service held at a local high school. An epileptic and severely malnourished, Moses was brought to the outreach from Kamuli, which is over an hour away from Buwenge, by his mother Evelyn Mbwali who was worried about his lack of mobility. As a result of prolonged poor body positioning Moses has developed a curved spine and contractures in his knee joints making movement painful and limited. Education surrounding disability in rural regions is limited so Moses family was unaware of the physical therapy he should receive that would have provided flexibility and suppleness to his joints. The outreach provides oral medical treatment for those living with epilepsy in the region, however Moses' malnutrition means providing him with oral medicine wouldn't be recommended as his body would not be able to hold it in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582351978-RQZU93R2SRUH2SFN2QRJ/synopsis.jpg TTUTS_2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582813216-RX01LOPHTV2I8GPEGWLL/_HOP4145.JPG TTUTS_2024 28 November 2024. Busede, Uganda. 13-year-old Janet Akwatulira is comforted by her mother Florence Nakecho in the bedroom they share with Janet's sister Jimbo. Janet and Jimbo both live with undiagnosed intellectual disabilities. Janet is currently seven months pregnant because of rape. The family know the attacker, a 37-year-old neighbour, who has fled the area. The family of the alleged rapist offered Florence a bar of soap and a bag of sugar each month until the baby is born as compensation. Florence agreed but the deal was then reneged. As a result, Florence went to the local police who informed her that if she continued to press charges against the rapist, she herself would be arrested on grounds of neglect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713847206832-MB7R8S3OGZC0WX72GO61/_MG_0684.JPG TTUTS_2024 19 November 2014. Gulu, Uganda. Former Lords Resistance Army (LRA) abductee Grace Aviro smiles whilst hidden behind a mosquito net. Grace Aviro was abducted by the Joseph Kony led LRA and spent 14 years in the bush. Beaten, tortured and raped she was left with three unwanted children. Symbolic of how trauma affect’s Ugandan's, Grace never managed a smile, until she hid behind a piece of netting at her home. She now attends the Living Hope program in the northern city of Gulu, which provides a place to develop skills that enable women living with psychosocial issues and disabilities to start businesses, properly care for children and give comprehensive care for HIV. The program has enabled Grace to forgive her attackers psychologically but also learn skills that will help her to move forward in her life. In a country with only 53 psychiatrists, the perception of mental health in Uganda ranges from being 'weak' to a devils curse, so seeking help is not common ensuring that assistance programs have to be creative when offering treatments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582668547-IEO37CCP0MAEJPK80DG5/_HOP0940.JPG TTUTS_2024 25 November 2024.

Ali lives with Cerebral Palsy and receives his weekly therapy at the Home of Hope facility in nearby Jinja. As a mother of a child living with disability Margret receives counselling from the social workers at Home of Hope, a local facility proving assistance to those living with disability. After vetting, she was given some interest free start-up capital from which Margret has been able to start a small business selling charcoal at the local trading centre. Despite living subsistently now, Margret is confident she can expand her business and provide for Ali's future needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713846791383-XCN06A2XPNR0OONCGE27/_CNH2124.JPG TTUTS_2024 25 February 2020. Lugonjo, Uganda. Salma Kobusinge kneels alone in her Entebbe home. 9-year old Salma lives with Autism. She does not speak, has Epilepsy, Sickle cells, is deaf and blind in her right eye. Her mother, Nono Zubeda has told disability outreach worker Stephan Kabenge that she wishes Salma was dead. Nono has spent time in prison for leaving Salma unattended in the dilapidated two room house in a suburb of Entebbe. Salma's father denies the child is his and offers Nono no assistance in the home or financially for Salma's medications. Nono has resorted to the services of a local Witch Doctor, but he has made no difference to their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713846937696-IEW8P1PYSLW8BY7L1MK5/_DSF2007.JPG TTUTS_2024 19 July 2023. Nabwigulu, Kamuli District, Uganda. Perez Mwase cowers in the family maize field after being bathed by his mother Lovinsa Namwebya. 19-year-old Perez lives with severe, category four, autism. Lovinsa tried for years to have her son’s condition diagnosed. Unable to deal with his aggression and hyperactivity, his parents tied him to a tree for 11 years. He was fed and toileted in the same place until late evening when he would join the family inside. Following the death of his father from suicide, Lovinsa struggled to care for Perez alone and he was moved to the Amaanyi Centre, a home and school for children with intellectual disabilities run by NGO Embrace Kulture, a two-hour drive away in Entebbe. While there he was formally diagnosed with severe, category four, Autism. In November 2017 the family instigated a case challenging the Ugandan government and the Buyende Local Government with failure to provide early detection, rehabilitation, and habilitation services at the primary health care level for a person living with Autism. In a landmark decision in March 2022 the court ruled in favour of Perez on all counts. The court found that the government’s failure amounted to a violation of his human rights; his right to health, right to equality and freedom from discrimination, and his right to human dignity provided for under the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582878979-KL44BPMS0GQLEKHLF2F6/_HOP5449.JPG TTUTS_2024 29 November 2024. Buwenge, Uganda. 16-year-old Moses is ogled by local students as his mother, Evelyn Mbwali explains his story to a health worker at a local outreach clinic. Moses was brought to the outreach by his mother who was worried about his lack of mobility. Severely malnourished, and epileptic, because of poor positioning he has developed a curved spine and contractures in his knee joints. Community awareness and acceptance surrounding disability, whilst increasing, is still at a level whereupon there is a great deal of stigma attached. Families are often ostracised from their communities; parents will abandon children born with disability and in some cases 'mercy killings' are performed. Local community-based organisations and NGO's work tirelessly on educational programs that look to dispel these myths, incorporating information sessions into outreach programs in the hope the knowledge will be taken back to local villages and the information shared. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713846975000-N89YV1PR0EPBL8S6D1JN/_DSF3238.JPG TTUTS_2024 23rd July 2023. Lira Village, Soroti District, Uganda. Esta Aruto, 35, Solomon Aebuiju, 50 and Marcay Etagu, 65, who all live with an intellectual or physical disability listen to Pastor Joshua Ijala's sermon in Sunday mass. Uganda, colonised by the British, is a predominantly Christian society with 85% of its citizens adhering to the Christian faith. 12% is Muslim while the remainder follow indigenous beliefs, Judaism and Hindi. Despite these religious beliefs there is a cultural taboo surrounding psychosocial and intellectual disability, with most believing those living with to be cursed or possessed. Awareness surrounding the falsehood of these myths is growing at the community level in the Soroti region due to the forward thinking of religious leaders like Pastor Joshua. Joshua and his church have taken in Esta, Solomon and Marcay, and given them working roles within the church community to educate the parish that those living with mental health and intellectual disabilities are not cursed, can lead fulfilling lives and be positive members of the wider community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582997743-2NXN1Y5BXZRXEWE87YCY/_HOP8530.JPG TTUTS_2024 5 December 2024.

David lives, undiagnosed, with an intellectual disability which can see him become violent. As his parents have moved out of the village to pursue work so they can provide for David and his two siblings, the children are cared for by their grandmother Grace Ayaro. David can become violent, especially toward his eldest brother, and when this occurs they tether him to the bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713846858612-YYTU7BE08FIR919LDYQ8/_DSF0911.JPG TTUTS_2024 17 July 2023. Lugonjo, Uganda. Single mother Nono Kabenge watches on as her 11-year-old daughter Salma stumbles towards the light of an open doorway. Salma lives with epilepsy, Sickle Cells, Autism and is non verbal, partially blind and deaf. Salma's head is covered in scars from injuries sustained while falling and crashing into walls. In the past Nono was known to leave Salma locked away alone, resulting in many of the falls, but in the past two years Nono has worked with the small NGO Embrace Kulture to learn about her daughters disabilities. They have debunked the myths surrounding disability and she has learned that leaving her daughter locked away alone is an abuse of her rights. She has also learned about self care and that to visit a psychologist for her own mental health issues should not be seen as a weakness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713847013898-4VT2FAJE4HR0MXWIO4LZ/_DSF3697.JPG TTUTS_2024 25 July 2023.

Four-year-old Edwin Nangobi stares into the camera as he sits with his mother, 20-year-old Katherine Muwunguzi (r) and Grandmother Joy Nangobi in the room Katherine shares as a sleeping quarter with bags of cassava. 'Kat' was raped repeatedly by a neighbour at a young age resulting in the pregnancy and birth of Edwin four years ago. Kat lives with an un-diagnosed intellectual disability and is unable to comprehend that Edwin is her child. This family dynamic means that Joy raises Edwin, but not as her own. She is determined to teach Edwin that Kat is his mother. “We are trying our level best to try and create a relationship between the child and his mother, but she doesn’t have anything that she cares about given her mental situation. We always tell this child [Edwin] that no matter the condition of your mother, she is your mother. Every time we try to ask him, just to find out, if he remembers who his mother is, and if you ask him, he says - ‘the one who is mentally disturbed is my mother’.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713847056917-8BBQT44LOEHLMBLQZYU4/_DSF3756.JPG TTUTS_2024 25 July 2023.

Omalera, Soroti District, Uganda. Local witch doctor Robert Apedu poses for a portrait in his clinic. As witch doctors comprise around 77% of the health services in rural areas they offer a more convenient alternative to the cities health facilities and medicines. Apedu believes in his craft and wishes the government would recognise witch doctors and traditional healers as a genuine supplier of health services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582978955-HHNE9ESV5M1AW9T55HEY/_HOP7987.JPG TTUTS_2024 4 December 2024. Omalera, Soroti District, Uganda. Local Witch doctor Robert Apedu and Florence Aguro carry Florence's son Noah Oyara into the shade after Robert treated Noah. Noah has no use of his legs and also lives with hydrocephalus. Robert treated these conditions by rubbing a paste of water and plant matter into Noahs skin. While he is well known in the area as a witch doctor, he understands the negative connotation surrounding his profession so like many others he refers to himself as a 'traditional healer or herbalist'. Florence is well educated around Noah's conditions yet her lack of support means she cannot access treatment in the nearby Soroti Government hospital. She takes Noah to Robert for treatment as she says 'what harm can it do'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582920408-OQNDH9WCMJXE3WZKAHST/_HOP7032.JPG TTUTS_2024 2 December 2024. Oukot, Amuria District, Soroti. Local children watch on as Simon Okurut carries his son Paul Oribo, who lves with Cerebral Palsy, to the Landcruiser Fred Alimet from local charity Cherish Ikoku Uganda uses as a makeshift ambulance. Many families of those that live with disability live isolated from the major health facilities. Oukut is a farming village of 90 households with a known five children with Cerebral Palsy, one with Hydrocephalus and others who are hidden by their families. It is 31 km away from Soroti and its main government hospital so the only means of emergency transportation is the local Boda Boda (motorcycle) riders. This is a costly and dangerous way of getting a child to hospital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582780301-XTU1K2FH8SP0OJURVV6K/_HOP2993.JPG TTUTS_2024 27 November 2024. Bugembe, Jinja District, Uganda. Daniel, 18, looks on as Mary works on a painting in a weekly skilling program held at Home of Hope. The skilling program is run three times a week where the children learn various forms of art and craft from local artist and disability advocate Joseph. The aim is to provide the children with skills that promote independence after they reach the age of 18 and legally have to move on from the Home of Hope. As Daniel has turned eighteen he will be moving to a newly constructed purpose built assisted living home in nearby Buwenge but until the move the home is forced into non-compliance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582733838-GV1A4XVB1BOAJJHO7EI6/_HOP1686.JPG TTUTS_2024 26 November 2024. Bugembe, Jinja District, Uganda. As two-year-old Mildred, who lives with Down Syndrome, walks assisted by a walking frame, children of staff play unassisted on a trampoline at the Home of Hope. Every Tuesday is therapy day at the Home for children from the region living with disabilities. Approximately 25 parents bring their child on a first-come first-serve basis whereupon the children receive therapy from a physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist, Eddie Opio (seen here speaking with Mildred's mother Ida). The day provides the children with a required service free of charge, but has also created a community for parents of children living with disability to speak to others who are living with similar issues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582775324-UYW9GS60FAB3CKPYPUZR/_HOP2428.JPG TTUTS_2024 27 November 2024. Budondo, Uganda. At the Budondo Government Hospital, Margret Awebwe carries her one-year-old Elaija Talemwa, who lives with Cerebral Palsy from his monthly therapy session with physiotherapist Alex Kamulegeya. The lack of prioritisation from Government given to disability is clearly evident at Government run hospitals. Whilst the services offered are free, the therapy Margret and Elaija attend is confined to a small, unsuitable, two by three metre room adjoining a ward whereby other patients can watch, reducing privacy for the parent and child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582671821-O1BKQU5G4Q2ETVZIKMH9/_HOP0238.JPG TTUTS_2024 25 November 2024. Wanyange, Uganda. Near the shore of Lake Victoria social worker Stephan Kigozi conducts an outreach meeting with Olivia Mugala. Olivia's four-year-old son James Mugabe lives with Down Syndrome. As a result of her husband abandoning the family, Olivia attempted suicide and was referred to the nearby Home of Hope- a facility which provides various services to those living with disability- by a concerned neighbour. After receiving counselling and social support, Olivia has been able to start a small business selling local fish supplied by local fisherman and is looking to expand into fresh produce. Part of Olivia's social support includes education around disability and Down Syndrome, information which is not administered by official channels and is left up to smaller organisations to provide, meaning that the reach is limited and therefore reactive rather than preventative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713849074572-P9M42NEUZCYF6539I4PL/_DSF3937.JPG TTUTS_2024 25 July 2023. Bugembe, Jinja District, Uganda. A young boy with Hydrocephalus is seen illuminated by window light on the floor at Hope of Hope, Jinja, Uganda. The Home of Hope houses over 90 children who have been abandoned due to their intellectual disability. Peter Osire, the programme coordinator at Home of Hope, says that there is a disconnect between the constitutional rights of those living with Intellectual disability, and how those rights are being met. He says the Government should be taking more responsibility for services for people living with psychosocial and intellectual disabilities. “They don't seem to care. The government knows what its responsibility is - to do something - but they don't do it. You know, it should have been the one to take the lead, but it leaves it to other key players. “It's something that is a fault because these are services [services offered by Home of Hope] that these children are supposed to get from the government.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713847096722-ZBGE3IFS56WSSJ5QDJ71/_DSF3929.JPG TTUTS_2024 25 July 2023. Bugembe, Jinja District, Uganda. Teenagers living with conditions including Cerebral Palsy and Hydrocephalus await rehabilitation treatment in the therapy room at Home of Hope, a home, rehabilitation centre and hospital for abandoned children who have intellectual and physical disabilities. Home of Hope houses, educates and rehabilitates about ninety children and young adults with no financial assistance from official channels. Government regulation states that is not permitted to house children when they turn 18 but it continues to do so because many have been abandoned by their families. Government policy means they are to be found supported homes - homes with willing and able carers- at age 18 but without financial assistance this is impossible forcing the centre into non-compliance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713847055003-54YZSPZCSIPVB83K9DWZ/_DSF3858.JPG TTUTS_2024 25 July 2023. Lukonko, Jinja District, Uganda. Winnie Bamulobeireki stands proudly in the home of her father. The 25-year-old lives with epilepsy and her mental health has deteriorated to the point where she was unable to finish school. She is an easy target for local men, who have enticed her into the sugar cane fields that surround their home with promises of gifts and sweets. One of the many rapes resulted in the birth of a child last year. With no means or ability to raise the child, the baby was taken to an orphanage. Winnie’s father, Kalisti, knows the man who raped her but he will not pursue justice for Winnie as the man is destitute and ‘has nothing to give them.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713847144041-16XLEQJCUCQLHFHJP6PL/_HOP2841.JPG TTUTS_2024 27 February 2020. Obur, Soroti District, Uganda. Outreach worker Pastor Fred Alimet buttons up thirteen-year-old Silus Odii's shirt after releasing him from his restraint. Silus, who lives with Down Syndrome, regularly gets tethered to a wooden crate inside his families single room home. His mother and father- Elizabeth Iloi and Joram Odii- are subsistent farmers, growing and selling Cassava and are often away from the family property. In the past when left alone and free to wander Silus has been assaulted and abused by neighbouring villagers because of his disability, so Joram and Elizabeth now tether him inside for his own safety. The act of chaining or tethering a child with mental health or disability issues is often not out of malice, but to restrict any harm from uneducated members of the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713846827775-5XRZ35SFZGKLC0E1NQ5G/_CNH3119.JPG TTUTS_2024 29 February 2020.

Ezra was born healthy. At age four he began to show signs of disability, turned in feet and loss of speech. Within three years he was completely disabled. Ezra hasn’t been formally diagnosed but his mother, Agnes Odoch believes he has Spastic Diplegia, commonly known as Cerebral Palsy. Agnes had a child die at age nine who also suffered from Cerebral Palsy. Her family has had its home destroyed by a mob who believed Ezra and the family to be cursed and were bringing bad luck to the village. They now live only ten metres away in a makeshift house constructed of corrugated iron sheets and mud bricks. The family are still verbally and physically abused by neighbours, are stoned and have their home defecated on. Due to these cultural beliefs, Agnes cannot provide for her family and as a result Ezra is now severely malnourished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582932562-XZSTUAYY6IOGTCASXWW1/_HOP7680.JPG TTUTS_2024 4 December 2024.

Ineffective Mosquito nets, such as this one in the room lived in by thirteen-year-old Silus Odaii who lives with Down Syndrome, enable the spread of malaria which further fuels the health issues faced by many subsistent rural Ugandans, especially those with pre-existing disabilities. The inconvenience of travelling long arduous distances to reach the major cities health services often means local, private health services are used. The private health operators far outweigh the governments public services - 95% private, 4% public - yet a lack of regulation means quality of care is often poor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1741582871050-8VAJQSM4SQZ9SZDTSY7S/_HOP5256.JPG TTUTS_2024 29 November 2024. Buwenge, Uganda. A local participant in a community outreach program says a prayer for those living with epilepsy who have congregated under a Mango tree to receive education and medical supplies. This outreach program, run by Stephan Kigozi of Home of Hope, provides free medication for epileptics. Epileptics bear a great deal of the ingrained cultural taboo due to society's perception of its seizures representing 'possession' by evil spirits. The outreach also provide an education and awareness service which aims to educate its participants about disability which enables those in attendance to further educate neighbours back in their home villages, spreading truth about disability that is not reached in rural areas by Government programming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1713846907601-DJ9JUCAO7EH42AUFPG6L/_DSF1714.JPG TTUTS_2024 19 July 2023. Nabwigulu, Kamuli District, Uganda. Perez Mbwase cuddles into his mother Lovinsa Namwebya's bosom after being admonished for misbehaving. Due to his Autism, hunger is a trigger for Perez' mood to swing towards aggression. After walking for over two hours so Lovinsa could inspect a potential plot of land to plant vegetables Perez didn't eat, causing him to act out. Namwe tried for years to have her son’s condition diagnosed. Unable to deal with his aggression and hyperactivity, his parents tied him to a tree for 11 years. He was fed and toileted in the same place until late evening when he would join the family inside. Following the death of his father from suicide, Lovinsa struggled to care for Perez alone and he was moved to the Amaanyi Centre. While there he was formally diagnosed with severe, category four, Autism. During his time at the Amaanyi Centre Perez would learn basic skills such as dressing himself and eating with cutlery. Almost as importantly, the staff would educate Lovinsa around Autism. She would be taught what Autism is, how it manifests in Perez and what his triggers are. This education would lead to a tighter bond between mother and son and provide Lovinsa with the tools she needed to properly care for her son. https://www.chris-hopkins.com.au/windows_2024 daily 0.75 2026-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1714441952329-Z9AMWZLS3WF95D87IUEU/_CNH6904.JPG Windows_2024 1 July 2021, 130 Racecourse Road, Flemington, Australia.

Ian 'Hank' Ferguson rides the lift to his tenth-floor apartment in the Northcote towers. Hank, 60, found sanctuary in 2022 in the Northcote tower. It was his escape from homelessness after a breakup that left him shouldering the $250-a-week rent alone in an “atrocious” private rental. Public housing is often referred to as the last safety net before homelessness. The September 2023 decision by the Victorian State Government to demolish the 44 remaining public housing towers, displacing their residents and dividing communities, will have implications for Melbourne’s rising homelessness issue. Public housing advocates like Hank say the overall number of apartments will be reduced, thereby reducing the available housing on offer, meaning it is more likely that those on waiting lists seeking housing will have to remain homeless and remain on wait lists for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1714441980989-RG7PKPLN8G6QU8U9L5NF/_CNH7450.JPG Windows_2024 10 July 2020. Canning Street, North Melbourne, Australia. Twelve hours after re-opening to its residents, Government appointed cleaners are tasked with deep cleaning the Canning Street housing estate in North Melbourne. The building was in enforced lockdown for five days after cases of Covid-19 were traced to the Housing Commission apartments in North Melbourne and Flemington. Hallways and the towers foyer were stacked with rotting food and supplies. The goods were well intended but breakdowns in communication between residents and the emergency services tasked with enforcing the lockdown meant that authorities confused collection and delivery procedures. Some residents reported not receiving medication or food for days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1714441823981-B1GFDMRMDMPXAEF71J70/_CNH6101.JPG Windows_2024 3 June 2021, 130 Racecourse Road, Flemington, Australia. The front entrance to the apartment complex at 130 Flemington is smeared with a handprint of an unknown substance. Since the enforced lockdown in July 2020, deep cleaning for Covid-19 in the government run housing commission apartments has been a point of conjecture for residents. This hand print was still visible ten days after this image was made, clear evidence of the lack of practical communication between Government agencies and residents. Tasks such as cleaning public areas, gardening or vaccinating residents are seen as a singular, outsourced jobs by Government agencies. For the residents these tasks are seen as a basic need. When these tasks are not performed, it can lead to a perception amongst the residents as a slight on their rights as citizens which sows seeds of doubt about their standing within the fabric of society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1714441837331-UMSGCGCHMFXO1BIJOWD5/_CNH6240.JPG Windows_2024 3 June 2021, 130 Racecourse Road, Flemington, Australia.

Hiba Shanino is a resident of the Flemington Housing Commission complex but fled when she heard rumours of a hard lockdown. Her parents are locked down in the towers. Local youth groups banded together in an unofficial coalition to collect and distribute care packages to locked down residents across the enforced lockdown. Although most of the packages got inside the towers much of them did not reach the residents and sat rotting and useless in foyers and hallways as residents, most with English as a second language, were too afraid to leave their apartments for fear of retribution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1714441981727-9JDCGSAK94AYXIWXARCR/_CNH7074.JPG Windows_2024 9 July 2020.

Young public housing residents play in a wheelbarrow at a celebration for Eid organised by the local Melbourne Somali Community group. Tightly knit diaspora communities will be hard hit by the decision to demolish the public housing towers. The demolition process will require Homes Victoria (who oversee the Government public housing system) to relocate families during the rebuilding process. This process has been earmarked to take place in early 2025, spanning the following four years, separating many families from not only community-based infrastructure such as schools, local health facilities and sporting clubs but friendships and support networks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1714441862734-0BBG8ABH0H4M5D8OROUH/_CNH6382.JPG Windows_2024 7 July 2020.

The emotional toll of being temporarily relocated weighs on Clare and her fellow residents, many of whom are underprivileged, and or from a refugee background. Hanson said neighbours within the estate were living with uncertainty around their futures which was leading to mental health issues – and has been for years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1772164191328-R6DOGHSUCHBJZC66G764/_CNH2842.JPG Windows_2024 22 October 2025. 150 Melrose Street, North Melbourne, Australia. 91-year-old Me Hui Gong dances in her North Melbourne apartment of twenty years.

Single mother Bezawit Gizaw plays in the morning light with her son Yeabsira. 'Beza' emigrated to Australia in 1996 from Ethiopia and immediately lived in public housing with her father. She completed a nursing degree and moved into private rentals before falling pregnant. Unable to support herself after developing health issues and separating from her partner, Beza was relieved and grateful that the system offered a safety net that saw her provided with a home in the Flemington towers, thus avoiding homelessness. The towers Beza and Yeabsira a sense of community, 'just like back in Africa'.

Bill's tower is one of the dedicated towers for the elderly. He described himself as a “burnt-out alcoholic wreck” when he moved in during 2007 and the tower provided a “caring, loving environment” with full-time caseworkers who helped stabilise his life. But in recent years, he says the system has been “cut to ribbons”. Security patrols have been reduced, and security cameras in his building have not worked for 12 months, he says. Homes Victoria (the Government body overseeing the State's public housing system) has begun placing younger residents with complex drug, alcohol, and mental health issues into the formerly tranquil older persons’ building. According to Bill, in January 2025, a younger man with severe mental health issues was placed in the building without adequate support. “At the start, that person was more of a danger to himself,” McKenzie explains. But recently, the resident tore a pipe off a bathroom fitting and chased someone down the street, threatening to kill them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1772164767519-TTGHQC1YD4VIBUYDMZ2U/_HOP4618.JPG Windows_2024 30 October 2025. 150 Melrose Street, North Melbourne, Australia.

The sun sets over the Flemington public housing towers. There are currently about 10,000 people living in the 44 towers and once they have been redeveloped, the estates will house about 30,000 in a mix of “social”, “affordable” and “private” housing which is a large increase in density. The Government has refused to give a breakdown between social, affordable and private, and has notably avoided using the word “public housing” in any of its announcements. Affordable housing constitutes those apartments which will be rented at a discount to market rates. These are aimed not at social security recipients, but people who struggle in the private market, seen by some as a form of privatisation and the end of the public housing safety net. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7bb39b2278e7ea852c5230/1714442060778-UJGMZXPZ6FAUMJ0ZY4OK/_DSF8216.JPG Windows_2024 13 June 2021. 33 Alfred Street, North Melbourne, Australia.
