When I found out about StreetDoctors, it wasn’t just an opportunity to give back. I saw a lot of myself in the young people and my past in them, so I felt like I could easily relate to them and help them.

At the end of every session I am usually speechless with admiration for the young people and amazed by what they go through on a daily basis.

As I watched the volunteers not only learn how to teach sessions, but also shape the organisation through their discussions about communications, safeguarding and the prevalence of youth violence, I started to see how StreetDoctors is able to achieve so much.

This is a video we made in 2012, telling the story of what StreetDoctors does and why young people come back to our teaching.
