How do you turn a “beneficiary” into an advocate? A victim into a leader? Local Story takes the microphone from the reporter and gives it directly to the people, working side by side with those affected by human trafficking, environmental degradation, poverty, and the deprivation of basic human rights such as healthcare and education. We help tell people’s stories while empowering them to ultimately not need us.
