Students Partnership Worldwide
- Students Partnership Worldwide
Students Partnership Worldwide (SPW) is a youth-led development charity which specialises in training young people to act as peer educators and agents of change in rural communities, to carry out effective long term interventions in health, particularly in preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS, and also in resource management contexts. Uniquely SPW recruits around 85% of these young volunteers from the huge untapped resource of educated young people in African and Asian countries. SPW's main overseas volunteering programs are in Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, South Africa,India and Nepal.
Youth to youth education is at the heart of SPW’s methodology. SPW volunteer peer educators use interactive non-formal education methods, such as music, drama and dance to engage children and youth, and promote healthy living.
SPW volunteers directly reach 400,000 young people each year with health and environmental education at a cost of just £5 per child.
SPW is also part of the Stop AIDS Campaign, and has responsibility for co-ordinating the Student Stop AIDS Campaign. A significant number of Student Stop AIDS campaigners are former SPW volunteers.
