International Adolescent Health Week (IAHW) 2024 is a global campaign dedicated to raising awareness and promoting the health and well-being of adolescents. At AfayHealth, we joined the world in celebrating this important week by organizing a series of impactful activities focused on empowering young people with knowledge, resources, and support.
Our events included interactive workshops, health talks, and outreach programs in schools and communities. We addressed key topics such as mental health, sexual and reproductive health, nutrition, and the importance of physical activity. By engaging adolescents directly, we created safe spaces for open discussions and encouraged them to take charge of their health.
The highlight of the week was our youth-led panel discussion, where adolescents shared their experiences and ideas for improving health services. We also distributed educational materials and connected young people with health professionals for guidance and support.
AfayHealth remains committed to advocating for adolescent health beyond IAHW 2024. We believe that empowering young people today leads to healthier communities tomorrow. Thank you to all our partners, volunteers, and participants for making this week a success!
