‘Pure Gold?’ is CAFOD's new photographic exhibition which reveals the truth behind the glamour of gold through striking images and accounts from three continents.

The exhibition opened in London on 21 May and now tours the UK.

See the reality in the Democratic Republic of Congo – where gold mining has contributed to a cycle of violence and poverty.

Hear the voices of communities in Honduras whose water supplies have been poisoned.

Meet the indigenous people fighting back in the Philippines after seeing their sacred mountain destroyed to make way for a gold mine.

Visit the exhibition and discover how you can help turn gold from a curse into a blessing for the countries where it is mined.

“This exhibition can have an impact on those who manufacture gold and those who buy it, so that people from the place where it is mined will be justly and fairly treated.”
Monsignor Dieudonné Uringi Uuci, Bishop and mining campaigner from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
