At waterbirthing centers, mothers can take their children for underwater swims in the year after birth. Birth under water can mean the baby suffers less trauma than in a conventional birth. Soft music and the warm water relax the mother and heighten her feeling of contact with the child.
Through our education programs, the World Press Photo Foundation encourages diverse accounts of the world that present stories with different perspectives.
Our exhibitions showcase stories that make people stop, feel, think and act to a worldwide audience.
Our annual contest recognizes and rewards the best in photojournalism and documentary photography.
