YDYS runs on a simple principle: the care young people need usually already exists somewhere. What’s often missing is the last stretch — someone bringing it directly to them. Our operating model is built entirely around closing that distance.
Many young people go years without a basic eye test or health check-up — not because such care is unavailable, but because reaching it involves a lot a family may not be able to spare: time off, transport, and knowing where to go in the first place. YDYS’s role is to remove that distance, by bringing the screening directly into schools, colleges, hostels and community spaces young people already move through every day.
An institution or community group agrees to host a camp, and we coordinate scheduling and requirements together.
YDYS organises the clinical team, screening equipment and volunteers needed for the camp.
Students undergo vision and/or general health screening on-site, conducted respectfully and efficiently.
We stay connected to the outcome rather than treating the camp as a one-time event.
All YDYS screening and awareness sessions are provided free of charge.
A straightforward process from first conversation to follow-up: clear communication about what a camp involves, a defined day (or days) for screening, results shared transparently with the institution and parents, and a clear next step for any student who needs further care. Hosting a camp does not require institutions to arrange equipment, clinical staff or a budget — only space and access.
