Ujimaa Medics

Emergency medical care is in short supply in the Chicago neighbourhoods most affected by gun violence. Ujimaa Medics is a grassroots organization that has stepped up to train young people to be first responders amid the epidemic.

In a city home to a staggering amount of gun violence, Ujimaa Medics is helping local kids save lives by training them to treat gunshot wounds at the scene of a shooting.
