Three of our peer educators share their stories

Here are three beautiful short documentaries chronicling the lives of three of our peer educators working on our One Man Can community mobilisation randomised control trial in Bushbuckridge. Each of these is only five minutes long and absolutely worth watching.

Filmmaker Colby Gottert beautifully documents stories of transformation through Sonke’s One Man Can (OMC) community mobilisation project in Bushbuckridge, Mpumulanga. These films chronicle the life of a Sonke peer educator working on our OMC community mobilisation randomised control there.
