Excellent health For Africa Initiative (Exhela Initiative)

Exhela Covid-19 Awareness Campaign

Location: Nigeria

During this Pandemic, there has been so much confusion and misinformation going on both on the internet and in the community. As a health organization managed by youths, we understand the importance of good health and wellbeing, we saw how this misinformation affects the people especially young people. We also noticed how poverty also affects the people during this hard time as individuals are not able to work or take care of their families during the lockdown in Nigeria.

In the Exhela COVID-19 Awareness Campaign, we have organized a couple of online seminars on COVID-19, and have a few more scheduled through and will continue till this pandemic is over.

We have educated people on topics such as;

  • Managing mental stress due to coronavirus.

  • COVID-19 Awareness Facebook and Instagram blast which featured myth busters and important knowledge about COVID-19

  • Community Education and door to door sensitization as well as the distribution of hand sanitizers.

Support

Our budget is 250,000. We are able to get 55,000 through individual donations and support, we plan to fund raise this amount by writing to companies and individuals to support us.
