Changing the Future of NCDs in Ethiopia Through Storytelling

By Sheena Millapo | Programme Officer

Our project in Ethiopia harnesses the power of storytelling to create generational change in the fight against non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We aim to shape a healthier future by educating children, the influencers of tomorrow, about NCDs and empowering them to make lifestyle changes that promote wellness in their families and communities. 

Through beautifully illustrated children’s books, we introduce relatable characters from village life, making the stories both engaging and impactful. These stories focus on promoting understanding of NCDs, dispelling myths, and raising awareness about the importance of gender equality and social inclusion. By integrating these critical topics into the stories, we create a holistic approach to health education that resonates with children and their families. 

The role of children in this project is vital. They are not only the future but can also serve as a guiding light for the older generations. By learning about the importance of healthy habits, these young readers become agents of change within their homes, encouraging their families to adopt healthier lifestyles. Whether it's through understanding the risks of NCDs like diabetes, heart disease, or hypertension, or through promoting equality and inclusion, children have the potential to influence their entire community. 

This innovative approach leverages storytelling to create real, lasting change. By supporting this project, you’re helping us empower the next generation to transform the future of health in Ethiopia. Your contribution will help us create and distribute more books, reaching even more children and families with life-saving knowledge. 

Join us in this journey to shape a healthier, more inclusive future.
