Health · Thrive
Healthy minds. Strong bodies. Bright futures.
It is hard to learn, build or play when you are unwell or struggling. We are building health programmes that help young Nigerians feel their best and know where to turn.
Why it matters
Your health is where everything starts
Simple checks, good information and someone to talk to can change the course of a young life. We want every young person to have all three.
- Free checks that spot problems early
- Honest, age-appropriate health information
- Support for mental wellbeing as well as physical health
- Skills to help others in an emergency
These programmes are being designed with health professionals. Register your interest to help shape them.
