- SPW is an international development charity working in eight countries across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
- SPW mobilises young people, by recruiting and training 18-28 year olds to serve as volunteer peer educators living full-time in rural communities for 7-9 months, and leading health, environmental and education programmes. SPW currently has over 800 volunteers, 85% of whom are from the host programme countries who work in partnership with volunteers from Europe, North America, and Australia.
- 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 programmes work directly with local and national government and civil society partners, tackling the underlying causes of poverty whilst building local capacity.
