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.
