The next hundred public health stewards initiative is aimed at increasing the role of youths in health and development by equipping young public health enthusiasts with the knowledge and skills needed in the practice of public health.
CHESIDS is a current grantee of The Girl Generation (TGG); a global collective with a shared vision to #EndFGM in one generation.
In this partnership with TGG, CHESIDS is working to increase youth leadership in the collective effort to end FGM by stimulating more constructive intergenerational FGM-themed conversations, improving the knowledge and skills of targeted youths to correctly advocate and drive informed action against FGM, and implementing youth driven FGM-themed events in four communities in Ido Osi Local Government Area (LGA) of Ekiti State in south-west Nigeria.
CHESIDS approaches Health as a development Issue. One of its strategies is Partnering with Youths for Health (PY4H). The PY4H initiative deploys a structured approach to identify, equip, mentor, assist and fund young people to implement development projects in targeted communities.
Through PY4H, CHESIDS builds and nurtures a pipeline of young social change agents committed and willing to support a range of causes.
In this intervention in Ido Osi LGA, CHESIDS trained and equipped 6 youths to be at the forefront of an End FGM campaign in 4 communities- Osi, Usi, Igbole and Ifisin communities.
