INTRODUCTION

The Journey so far…

Founded in 2007, HACEY’s Health Initiative also known as HACEY is a non-

governmental organization committed to educating, informing and empowering
women and young people on health and environmental issues as it relates to them, and

providing capacity development to achieve a healthy and sustainable society.


HACEY has consistently dedicated its resources and efforts to developing a

consciousness for health and environmental protection in members of the society and

empowering the underserved, disadvantaged individuals in the society. Over the years,
HACEY has inspired and equipped its beneficiaries to lead healthier lives while
implementing positive change efforts that transform their lives and communities;

thereby sustaining livelihood and contributing to national development.


To facilitate the spread of education and empowerment, HACEY has produced books for

various ages on health and environmental issues, and conducted seminars and

programs to educate and inspire positive action towards personal and community
development. To date, HACEY has reached over 100,000 individuals in states across the

nation through its core programs and initiatives on HIV/AIDS prevention, combating
malaria, advocacy for environmental protection and capacity building for job creation

and has inspired thousands to be active participants in our society’s development
process. So far, HACEY has implemented projects in 8 states across Nigeria and

continually works to expand her reach to other regions within and outside the country.

     the prevention and treatment of Malaria, with Long
     Lasting Insecticide-treated nets distributed to women
     and young people in rural communities to support the
     fight against malaria. Misconceptions on the use and
     maintenance of these nets were also treated, and
     answers were provided for questions that the women
     and youths have concerning the Insecticide-treated nets.

WOMEN

HACEY, in partnership with the CYFI Nigeria, carried

out   the    malaria   outreach     project   aimed    at

empowering women in rural communities on malaria

prevention and treatment. During this program,
HACEY facilitated sessions with community leaders,
youths      and   women     associations,     correcting

misconceptions    about   malaria    transmission     and
diagnosis, and encouraged the women to visit health
centers especially when pregnant.


The women were also encouraged to protect

themselves and their children, especially those under

five, from malaria by using long lasting insecticide

treated nets (LLITNs). HACEY jointly carried out door-

to-door outreach in the community and supported in

the distribution of LLITNs to 150 women with children

under five years in the community.

OUR TARGET ACTIVITIES…




                         Today, youth represent 18% of the global population or

                         1.2 billion people. Eighty seven percent (87%) of youth

                         live in developing countries facing challenges brought
                         about by limited access to resources, healthcare,
                         education,    training,   employment       and    economic

                         opportunities. Our society therefore becomes one that
                         breeds youths more interested in their personal gain
                         than that of the society and has little regard for it

Millennium Development Goals with the theme                  directly affect them.

‘YOUTH AND THE MDGs’. During the program the

MDGs were discussed in forums, classrooms, groups,

public places and online. Each goal was discussed,

giving the youths the opportunity to give their
opinions and suggestions on how each goal can be
achieved. Through television and radio broadcast, we

were able to reach thousands of people in the state

and across the nation. We held discussions in NYSC
Community Development Service groups, and spoke

with students in secondary schools.

YOUTH




To help young people face the
    health challenges of our
  changing world, Pro-Health
Education Groups were created
to educate and inform students
on health issues affecting them
 and how they can be actively
   part of the solutions. The
initiative also enhanced student
  creative skills in the areas of
  music, drama and poetry in
   preventing HIV/AIDS and
Malaria, and encouraged them
to be advocates of the change
they want to see in their society.

 The last five years has been filled with

overcome these challenges through our
 synergized efforts to push for change.
We need to work together and make the
best use of resources if we are to create
 and maintain a sustainable society; we
need to think beyond our present needs
but unto those of future generations as
well. In the short term, we need to focus

                                                   millions of people. Our commitment is to
