ANJALI HOUSE
EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY FOR CHILDREN FROM ANJALI HOUSE
ANGKOR PHOTO FESTIVAL, CAMBODIA
Anjali House began life as a project of the Angkor Photo Association (a registered non-profit association in France – Reg No: W751202186), and Angkor Photography Festival Association in Cambodia (Reg No: 1391SPN). In 2005, a group of photographers got together to promote photography and highlight humanitarian issues in Southeast Asia. APA wanted to produce a regional photo festival but, in an area of so much deprivation, they also wanted to include some of the people who live in this remarkable and wonderful part of the world.
Anjali began with a one-off dance troupe, lead by Sangeeta Isvaran, and a photography workshop initiated by Magnum photographer Antoine d’Agata. The children were encouraged away from the streets, and at the end of the week they performed their dance routine and exhibited their photographs to an international audience. With rapt applause they found a sense of empowerment, pride and personal achievement.
Galvanized by the difference that first week made, APA was inspired to further extend its help, and began to provide education and practical support to Siem Reap’s street children and engage with their parents.
The seeds of those efforts grew into the Anjali House of today. While close ties remain with the Angkor Photo Festival which provides annual photography workshops for our kids, Anjali House is now its own organization with its own leadership.
