The cartoon Goldtooth, developed by Street Kids International (S. K. I.), is a story about a boy named Karate and his sister Nina, who get involved with drugs and violence in the streets. Like street children everywhere, they must deal with men like the villain Goldtooth - pimps and drug dealers who promise happiness and feed on misery. As part of a joint UNDCP/UNAIDS project, the cartoon has been dubbed into twenty-five languages, and is currently being used in over 100 countries to educate vulnerable people on the dangers of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS.
