Millennium Fellowship Project: BUILD (Bringing Understanding for Life Long Development)
The BUILD project is designed for sustainability beyond the Fellowship term. We have successfully completed the initial high-impact outreach and assessment phase (Katangua PHC, October 2025). The project is now transitioning into its long-term Sustainability and Education Phase, focusing on embedding nutritional knowledge deep within the community structure.
Key Ongoing Activities:
School Nutrition Clubs: Establishing the first two Nutrition Clubs in secondary schools in Ogbomosho to create a self-sustaining peer-to-peer advocacy and education network.
Follow-up & Expansion: Scheduling follow-up visits to the initial mothers reached and expanding the outreach sessions to additional PHCs in the Ogbomosho area.
