Thanks to your support, we reached 303 young people with HIV education. And 74% got tested for the first time.
Your generous contributions made it possible to mobilize resources to bring HIV testing and education directly to young people in Lagos and Abuja.
Your support is creating real shifts in the lives of college-age girls and the ripple effect is growing.
Our peer educators mobilized young people to participate in HIV education sessions. Of the 242 who received an HIV test, an incredible 74% were first-time testers.
And we are not stopping there.
These numbers represent something deeper: young people walking through fear for the first time, choosing knowledge over stigma, and taking control of their health. Post-survey results showed 82% feel more confident about accessing HIV testing and care in the future.
This is what progress looks like: girls showing up for themselves, asking questions, and taking the first steps toward a healthier future.
Because of you, they know their status.
Because of you, they are empowered to protect themselves and their loved ones.
And because of your continued support, we’ll reach even more young people in more communities, one life at a time.
You are making change happen.
And we are grateful for you.
