The Aftermath Project is a non-profit organization committed to telling the other half of the story of conflict — the story of what it takes for individuals to learn to live again, to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace.

The Aftermath Project holds a yearly grant competition open to working photographers worldwide covering the aftermath of conflict. In addition, through partnerships with universities, photography institutions and non-profit organizations, the Project seeks to help broaden the public’s understanding of the true cost of war— and the real price of peace — through international traveling exhibitions and educational outreach in communities and schools.


Reality demands that we mention this: Life goes on. Wislawa Szymborska, Polish poet

 


More than ever, we need to hold up the stories and images that remind us of what it means to be human. Please consider making a donation today to the Aftermath Project, to help support the production and distribution of these important post-conflict stories. We are currently at work on "War is Only Half the Story, Vol Two," featuring the work of our 2008 grant winner and finalists, and we need your help.

You can click here to donate. You can also click here to explore images donated for our 2006 auctions, which launched our grant program. A limited number of these images are still available for purchase. Please contact sara@theaftermathproject.org to
find out prices and availability.
