Millennium Fellowship Project: Youth Health
Youth Health is a health awareness and advocacy project focused on empowering young people with accurate knowledge about their mental, reproductive, and sexual health. The project seeks to reach and educate youths through sensitization sessions, community outreaches, and school visits. To achieve wider impact, it will collaborate with youth-centered NGOs such as BetterHer Africa and Action Group on Adolescent Health (AGAH). Between August and December 2025, Youth Health aims to engage at least 200 young people, collect feedback through review sessions with open-ended questions, and evaluate knowledge retention using active recall methods.
