Health4You Initiative - Nigerian youths face numerous challenges that the current education system must address adequately. The challenges, though, significantly impact young people's well-being and the actualisation of their life goals, but can be mitigated through early interventions. To achieve this, the Health4You Initiative delivers scientifically proven solutions to mitigate the negative impacts of challenges faced by Nigerian youths and equip young people, parents, and those working with them with the proper set of skills to provide early intervention and help navigate life's challenges more effectively.
Through our various projects, we work with young people to enhance their competence in various domains and build their capacity to address the challenges young Nigerians face more effectively. To achieve our aim, we seek collaborations with organisations already working with young people and design and deliver training, workshops, and interventions that improve the experience and lives of young people.
