Award-winning Brazilian photographer, Luisa Dörr, documented the resilience of girls overcoming climate change in Guatemala.
Guatemala is a special place. Volcanoes and mountains peek through the mist, blankets of ancient forest stretch across the landscape, and girls' traditional clothes are hand-sewn works of art.
Guatemala is also facing some of the worst impacts of climate change in the world. Towns and villages are being battered with extreme storms and flooding, while other areas are facing the scorching sun with almost no rainfall in a year.
One-third of people in Guatemala depend on natural resources to make a living, many of them are farmers.
Photographer, Luisa Dörr, and I visited Save the Children's work in storm-affected communities. Here Luisa met girls from the Maya community, which dates back thousands of years. She captured stories about what is being done to ensure these girls stay in school and get the food they need to thrive.
I caught up with Luisa to find out more about her work and what she gained from gathering these stories with us.
Was there anything you gained from this project personally and creatively?
"Travelling to other places, meeting new people, and understanding other global narratives are some of the main reasons I am a photographer. This project with Save the Children was all three.
Creatively it always helps being in a new context, with new faces and new landscapes. It is like fresh water for me."
What was the most impactful thing you saw and how did you capture this?
"I saw the aftermath of a huge storm that struck the region two years ago. The rocks that had rolled down the mountain, destroying the houses, are still there. They are massive, physical reminders of what could happen again.
The girls I met have a strong and resilient way of dealing with life. I saw how Save the Children supported them and their communities to rebuild water systems and infrastructure in the wake of this climate disaster. There is clearly a very important community-led movement there."
