Millennium Fellowship Project: KIDSCREEN: A Child TB Screening Campaign
PROJECT DETAILS/DESCRIPTION: KidScreen: A Child TB Screening Campaign is a Millennium Fellowship project committed to advancing SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being by improving early detection of Tuberculosis (TB) among children in Sokoto State. Through school and community-based screenings, we aim to protect vulnerable children from preventable illness while promoting equity in healthcare access, reflecting the United Nations Academic Impact principle of addressing global health challenges.
In line with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, we collaborate with local health authorities, community-based organizations, and youth networks to strengthen TB control efforts.
Measurable Goals (by the end of the Fellowship):
Screen at least 2,000 children across schools, orphanages, IDP Camps and clinics.
• Facilitate referrals and follow-up care for children with presumptive TB.
• Conduct sensitization sessions for parents and caregivers.
• Build sustainable community partnerships to sustain TB awareness and screening beyond the Fellowship.
About the Millennium Fellow
My name is Yahya Fatihu Ayomide and I am a passionate individual who is committed to promoting the Sustainable Development Goals. I was born in Ilorin, Kwara State, in north-central Nigeria. I am currently studying in Sokoto State, northwestern Nigeria. I have volunteered for many outreaches and awareness campaigns and I noticed that young children of a certain age tend to be ignored by social impact initiatives. These initiatives tend to target very young children and their mothers and adolescents, ignoring the children between these age groups. I aim to work towards improving the scope of initiatives targeted at these young children by engaging with them and providing mentors.
