"Know About Your Health" is a project aimed at sensitizing and educating people, most especially young people, about their health, how drug and substance abuse could affect their health, major prevailing diseases in Africa which includes but not limited to malaria, hepatitis, HIV and AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, and how best to prevent these diseases and have long life in good health.

Information they say is power. And it is this power that this project aims to equip the young generation with. I have watched young people suffer and die from diseases such as HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis etc either because they are not properly informed, misinformed or not informed at all and I have evaluated and had serious thought about it and have come to understand that even though youths need quality health services, what they need first and foremost is to be properly informed about their health. It is the need to reduce the rate of ignorance about matters concerning health depicted by youths and the high mortality rate of young people from diseases and to help them lead a healthy life that the "Know About Your Health" project was born.

This project would be carried out on two fronts.

1. On-campus awareness: this would be carried out within the University campus where I and my team would sensitive and teach University students about their health through road walks, seminars/summit, making of roadside posters, etc. This is very important in the success of this project; because, I believe University students would learn faster and inculperate whatever they've learnt regardless of their discipline. And then, these University students would then serve as ambassadors of this message of "good health for youths" by going back to their respective homes, streets, villages, cities and continue the sensitization and education of youths in these areas about their health.

Furthermore, the need for youths to know their health status cannot be overemphasized. I have watched and observed that young people don't know their health status, even those as little as their genotype, HIV status, etc. So, this project aims to help carry out tests, in my University campus, free of charge so young people would know their health status.

2. Online awareness: this would be carried out via all social media platforms and my personal blog, which I am still working on as I type this. This I believe would be very instrumental if we are going to reach more youths as the best place to reach youths these days is online. So, I and my team would make blog and social media posts, videos, online flyers and a virtual workshop sensitizing and educating youths about their health and how best to stay safe and enjoy their lives.

In a nutshell, this project is all about educating young people about their health and putting an end to the sheer ignorance and lack of concern for their health and well-being exhibited by most youths.
