A social documentary series following the work of the Painga Project at Onepoto Primary School.
This photography project explores how initiatives like these can reshape children’s futures by addressing barriers to learning from the ground up.
Through partnerships with whānau, schools, and health providers, Painga connects students to essential vision care, enabling them to fully engage in education. More than a service, it is a commitment to equity, belonging, and opportunity.
These images tell stories of resilience and collective action, asking how we, as a community in Aotearoa, can ensure every child is seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
