Today was a beautiful reminder that when young people are given the right information, they become powerful agents of change.
We successfully held a Youth Health Rights Workshop and Outreach at the College of Health Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Okofia, where we engaged students on their health rights, access to healthcare services, and the importance of speaking up against stigma and discrimination related to HIV, TB, and malaria.
This activity was supported through by funding facilitated by Chidubem Ibeh from the GCTA Global Coalition of TB Advocates, with implementation facilitated through our partnership between Parkers Mobile Clinic and GenHealth Africa.
A special appreciation to Restoration Chukwudi, one of our promising youth leaders at Genhealth Africa, who facilitated the session and did an excellent job connecting with the students and making the discussions practical, relatable, and engaging.
Beyond the conversations, we also distributed Youth Health Rights Booklets to help participants better understand their rights and how to access health services. Female students also received sanitary pads as part of our commitment to promoting menstrual health and dignity.
Seeing the enthusiasm, questions, and active participation from the students was inspiring. It reminded us that creating healthier communities starts with empowering young people with knowledge, confidence, and the tools they need to make informed decisions.
Our sincere appreciation goes to the Global Coalition of TB Advocates (GCTA) for supporting this important work, to Parkers Mobile Clinic and GenHealth Africa for their partnership, and to the management and students of the College of Health Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Okofia, for warmly welcoming us.
This is just one step in our journey of breaking down barriers to healthcare and ensuring that every young person can access the information and services they deserve.
