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.

OUR CORE PROGRAMMING AREAS…

AIDS has killed more than 25 million people between 1981 and

2011, and more than 33 million people worldwide live with HIV,

making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history.

This is particularly a significant thematic area, especially in

Nigeria where 3.3 million people are living with HIV and

approximately 222,000 people died from AIDS in 2009.

6

Page 11: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

HIV/AIDS

In the past 4 years, HACEY has celebrated the

World AIDS Day, using it as a platform to reach

young people and women both in rural and

urban areas with preventive information and

education on HIV/AIDS. At these events, people

always have the opportunity to learn their HIV

status through counseling and testing.

Our HIV/AIDS programs are mainly targeted at

women and young people across regions, religion,

race, ethnic group, and social/economic standing.

Our programs reach both in school and out of school

young people in rural and urban settlements

nationwide. These programs inform and educate our

target population, and members of the society on

the effects of HIV/AIDS on themselves - whether they

are HIV - positive or not, on the society, and on the

economy. The programs have a goal of effecting a

positive behavioral change in members of our

societies that would lead to a drop in the incidence

of HIV infection; discrimination against HIV infected

and affected individuals, and HIV-related deaths.

7

Page 12: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

HIV/AIDS

“The fight against HIV/AIDS

is a collective one, and we are

doing everything we can to

see that we get to Zero HIV

incidence in Sub-Sahara

Africa. “

In 2008, HACEY published a book on

HIV/AIDS titled ‘HIV/AIDS: The future of the

infected and affected’ written by the Project

Director of HACEY, Isaiah Owolabi. The book

takes an in depth looks at the disastrous

effects HIV has on individuals and society,

and on society’s reaction to individuals who

are HIV positive. It also contains

recommendations for actions for

government, society, institutions and

individuals to prevent the spread of infection

and effect of HIV. The book has been a

major educative tool used during programs

to educate the public on HIV/AIDS.

HACEY also carried out a number of

researches amongst young people,

implementing gender specific interventions

and general preventive programs for young

people in the area, including HIV

sensitization and Prevention programs in the

Northern part of Nigeria for women and

young girls.

In 2011, HACEY launched her ‘Getting to Zero

Campaign’ to support the achievement of Zero New

HIV Infections, Zero Discrimination and Zero AIDS

Related Deaths in Nigeria by 2015. This campaign

creates a platform for advocacy and sensitization of

the general public, while specifically empowering

young people with life skills and knowledge so they

can be active in the fight against HIV/AIDS. With

support from British Medical Association and

International Brain Research Organization, books on

HIV/AIDS have been donated to libraries in schools in

Lagos to promote the objectives of the campaign.

Till date, HACEY has organized HIV/AIDS Education

Outreach in different parts of the country, with over

30,000 people being reached. We have achieved this

by empowering and supporting young individuals as

Peer Educator trainers, who in turn raise other Peer

Educators in secondary schools around Nigeria.

Through this strategy, Anti-HIV clubs have been

created in secondary schools in Kwara, Lagos, Ebonyi,

Zamfara, Niger and other states across Nigeria.

OUR CORE PROGRAMMING AREAS…

To combat the menace of malaria in Nigeria, HACEY

organizes various programs to sensitize the public on malaria

prevention and treatment. One way HAACEY ensures the

sustainability of all her programs is to actively involve the

participation of community members during implementation.

The use of long lasting insecticide-treated nets is strongly

encouraged during these programs, and a campaign for

maintaining a healthy, clean environment as ways of

preventing the occurrence of malaria

9

Page 14: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

MALARIA

HACEY organized forums in universities,

colleges and secondary schools to educate

the students and youths on ways through

which the spread of malaria can be

reduced such as the use of insecticide

treated nets, effective anti-malaria

treatment, and the maintenance of a

clean environment. This forum was

introduced in 2009, and at the end of

2010, 1000 students had committed

themselves to ensuring and living

healthier lives to combat malaria and to

educating the public.

HACEY developed the ‘End Malaria – together we can

initiative’ as means of spreading information about

malaria and its treatment. End malaria – together we can

creates the opportunity for people to be part of Malaria

programs carried out by the organization, as well as an

online platform where everyone can have access to

information concerning malaria including latest

developments in anti-malaria drugs and treatment. The

online group consistently educates and informs young

people on how they can actively combat malaria and

gives everyone, at all times, the opportunity to get the

information they need on malaria, and to give their

opinions and suggestions on various matters relating to

malaria.

Through the Malaria Awareness Program, an educational

program for community members, especially mothers.

on how to prevent malaria, the community of Umuahia

was sensitized on the cause and prevention of Malaria.

Mosquito nets were also distributed to over 100 mothers

in the community.

10

Page 15: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

MALARIA

HACEY has taken advantage of this mobile

era by sending mobile SMS (short message

service) to provide information to women in

rural communities.

Our anti-malaria theatre group in

secondary schools help educate students

about malaria symptoms, preventions and

treatment.

In 2010, A Malaria Prevention Program specifically for

women and children in northern Nigeria was

implemented. Women were reached with messages on

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.

In 2012, the community of Ilaje, a slum by the lagoon

area in Lagos state, Nigeria received the HACEY team, in

partnership with the CYFI Health team on the Malaria

Outreach program held in the community from May to

December 2012. During this outreach, HACEY

encouraged and joined the community in cleaning their

environment, carried out door-to-door sensitization on

malaria, and outreach and distribution of over 100

mosquito nets.

HACEY continue to fight, and mobilize others in

the fight against Malaria in Africa

Page 16: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

OUR CORE PROGRAMMING AREAS…

Environmental protection and Climate Change is a

leading issue in global discussion because of its

direct effect on global health. A step to mitigate the

effects of climate change on health is to educate

community members on how to take better care of

their environment and build their capacities in

adapting to it; building their appreciation for a clean

and healthy environment.

12

Page 17: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

ENVIRONMENT

In 2010, HACEY held an environmental education

and Awareness Program in Ebonyi state, Nigeria.

This program engaged young graduate and

community members, including school children, to

champion sanitation activities in Ebonyi state.

During this program, activities such as street

cleaning and clearing of drainages around the

communities were done. Waste disposal tools were

also donated to schools in this state.

During the 2008 World Health day, HACEY

hosted a debate on climate and health among

students from different departments in the

University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. The purpose

of this debate was to create awareness on

environment protection as a key to climatic

change, as well as to show the direct effect of

climate change on community health.

Motivated by the Article 6 of the United

Nations Framework Convention on Climate

Change which stresses the importance for

countries to develop and implement

programs to educate their population on

climate change and its effects and

developing adequate responses, HACEY

developed an initiative on environmental

protection, the “Student Environmental

Education Program” (SEEP).

This project is directed toward junior and

senior secondary school students and is

designed in partnership with Earth Child

Institute’s Power of One Child – Global

Action Classroom, an international initiative

developed in collaboration with the

Environmental Conservation Education

program at New York University in the

USA. This project inspires remarkable life-

skills based changes in students’

appreciation of their environment and

empowers them to take action to protect

their environment while improving quality

of life in their communities.

13

Page 18: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

ENVIRONMENT

HACEY is also an active member of the alliance of

youth-led/focused organizations and young

individuals working to build grassroots movement

across Africa to combat the effect of climate

change and environmental degradation through

innovative projects and Continental Day of

Actions to mobilize Africa for sustainable

development. On Wednesday, 5th

September,

HACEY jointly organized sensitization on local

television stations in Nigeria on climate change,

and hosted the ‘Arting Climate Change’ event,

aimed at using the arts to showcase the effects of

climate change in our society.

The SEEP project helps the students become

aware of which actions have negative effects on

the environment and how they can change their

own behavior and influence change in others.

Through this project, young school children in

Lagos state Nigeria have been involved in the

planting of trees, sanitation of their environment,

and virtual communication with children from

other countries participating in the program.

HACEY continues to champion the course of

environmental protection and education on

climate change in our society, involving

stakeholders, organizations/groups and

individuals in the planning and implementation

of the projects for sustainable impact

14

Page 19: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

OUR CORE PROGRAMMING AREAS…

Investment in the empowerment of individuals, who

are vulnerable to crime and unhealthy practices, is

one way of ensuring peace, as well as eradicating

poverty in the society, both now and in the future.

Beyond creating jobs and a means of livelihood for

youths, the main aim of our capacity development is

to breed leaders for social change.

15

Page 20: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

CAPACITY BUILDING

HACEY organizes capacity building for youths in

Nigeria that teaches life building skills and empower

young people to further develop themselves to

become socially responsible individuals. To give

them better understanding of leadership, learning

by action model and interactive activities are

employed that teach the principles of teamwork and

success. In schools, young people are also imparted

with knowledge on how they can better cope with

school work and making the right career choices. To

help us achieve this, the book ‘SMARTNESS’,

published by HACEY in 2010 was used to engage

and educate the students. Using the acronym

‘SMARTNESS’, HACEY also empowers in-school and

out-of-school youths in Nigeria to be social change

agents and leaders in their communities. Till date,

over 500 youths have been empowered across

Nigeria

In 2010, ‘Project Elevate’ was developed to

empower women in northern Nigeria. The aim of

the project was to empower women to become

entrepreneurs, thus providing for themselves

and their households. Over 500 women in

northern part of Nigeria benefited from this

project

In 2012, HACEY, in partnership with a faith based

organization organized a leadership and

entrepreneurship training program for 50 young

people in Lagos state, Nigeria. The training

program developed the leadership capabilities of

young people who participated in the program

and empowered them with adequate knowledge

to prepare and develop their business ideas. The

program followed up with the participants

initiating social projects in their communities

16

Page 21: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

CAPACITY BUILDING

HACEY also undertakes training programs on life

skills development for young girls to help them

make the right decisions in life. These training

provide young girls with skills in persuasion,

decision making, peer education and so on. They

also prepare her to become leaders in their

Various fields in life as it incorporates both

leadership training and good study habit

techniques. At present, HACEY has trained over

500 young girls, both in school and out of school,

empowering them to develop to their full

potential.

17

Page 22: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

OUR TARGET ACTIVITIES…

There are presently 2.2 billion people under the

age of 18 in the world. Children are the most

vulnerable in any society, as well as an integral

part of every society. HACEY’s work with

children is aimed at empowering the future

generation to make the right choices for

themselves and the society

18

Page 23: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

CHILDREN

The Children Future Initiatives is a project in rural

communities in Nigeria which helps children live to their

full potential by ensuring they have access to quality

primary education. The mission of this initiative is to help

children have access to education and information that

will enhance their quality of life

Read and Learn

The Mobile Library project is another project

directed towards the children. Books

donated to the organization have been

packaged into a mobile library that moves

from community to community. Through

this, we reach out to rural dwellers with

information they need to live healthier and

productive lives, we help them have access

to books on issues related to health and

environment and we also provide tutors to

explain what they do not understand,

sometimes speaking in local languages to

get the information across. We visit villages

and schools that do not have access to this

information or cannot afford this

information and we give them access to the

books and tutors to explain the content to

them

19

Page 24: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

CHILDREN

Going Green

HACEY uses the book 'Adventure of Piggles Pig', an

illustrated children’s story book published by the

organization in 2009, to teach the children about

how they can be a part of taking care of the

environment. HACEY trains students in tertiary

institution or graduates who serve as volunteer

teachers to compliment the low teacher-student

ratio in public primary schools.

The campaign is set to span a period of 5years with

activities set to be held in different states of Nigeria and

Africa. HACEY also facilitated the Girl Sexual Health

Promotion program for secondary school girls who were

trained to be peer educators in their different schools. The

aim of the campaign is to promote the health,

empowerment and rights of the girl child.

In October, 2012, HACEY launched the ‘Hands up

for HER campaign’ during the United Nation

International Day of the Girl Child event held in

Lagos on the 11th October. The event was hosted

in partnership with other organizations to

educate the public on the challenges faced by the

girl child on a daily basis. Female students from

secondary schools around Lagos as well as

members of the community where equipped with

information about their health and rights

20

Page 25: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

OUR TARGET ACTIVITIES…

empowering the woman is empowering the

nation and creates a multiplier effect in their

lives and that of their children as they are the

major caregivers in the family setting; as such,

teaching women basic health knowledge will in

fact improve the health of the family and

community.

21

Page 26: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

WOMEN

In 2010, HACEY partnered with the National

Directorate of Employment in Zamfara state to train

50 women on how to make money from Interior

decoration and to manage their business to ensure

profit. After the training, the women were given

financial support to start their own small scale

business and monitored to ensure they had all the

help and advice they needed. At present, some of

these women have apprentices under them who they

in turn train increasing the number of empowered

women in Zamfara state.

Integrated into the entrepreneurship training is

health education through which we inform the

women about health conscious decisions they can

make that will prevent avoidable illness and deaths

for them and their children.

They were taught how to recognize signs of illnesses

and the steps to take in treating such. HACEY also

held Health education programs for women at

Ilupeju - Ibafo community in Ogun state, promoting

prevention of communicable diseases.

HACEY has also encouraged environmental

sanitation in communities as a means of protecting

the environment and reducing the occurrence of

diseases. HACEY encouraged the women to engage

in proper environmental sanitation and proper

disposal of waste in the community; the health

effects of an unhealthy environment were also

explained to the women. They were provided with

materials to help them in carrying out

environmental sanitation

22

Page 27: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

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.

23

Page 28: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

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

24

Page 29: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

2011 International Youth Year

12th August 2010 – 11th August 2011 was proclaimed

by the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed

an International Year of Youth with the theme ‘Youth

and the MDGS’ to harness the energy, imagination

and creativity of the world’s youth in overcoming the

challenges facing mankind. In this respect, HACEY

organized a nine day program to encourage youths to

take part in the race towards the achievement of the

Millennium Development Goals with the theme

‘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.

Educative materials were also printed and distributed

in 8 different states in Nigeria especially in secondary

schools and higher institutions. Several youths

participated in the program and they were challenged

to have a positive expectation while they champion

initiatives that can help the achievement of the MDGs.

They were also encouraged to voice out and be part

of decision making processes, especially on issues that

directly affect them.

YOUTH

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.

25

Page 30: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

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.

26

Page 31: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

GOING PLACES…

HACEY’s Health Initiative has been impacting change

both at the national and International level. HACEY

has participated and been represented in different

international conferences on health, environment

and sustainable development where we contribute

our ideas and innovation to the global community.

27

Page 32: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

GOING ACROSS BORDERS

Since 2010, HACEY has been represented at the

World Youth Congress. Sharing ideas and

innovative techniques with the next generation of

leaders has proven a tool for positive impact in the

development of a sustainable society; utilized

through the training of young leaders on

leadership, social change and youth-led

development. In 2011, HACEY conducted training at

the Elos Institute in Sao Paulo, Brazil for young

change makers from around the world, equipping

them the necessary tools to create a healthy and

sustainable society back in their home countries.

The United Nations Framework Convention on

Climate Change, Conference of parties (COP) is one

of the largest gatherings of world leaders to

address the issue of climate change in our world

today. Since 2011, HACEY has been represented at

the COPs, sharing our achievements and challenges,

and creating a higher awareness for the need of the

younger generation involvement and recognition in

charting the future course.

In 2012, HACEY also attended the United Nation

Conference on Sustainable Development held in Rio

De Janeiro, tagged Rio+20 which was one of the

biggest conferences held to address the issue of

sustainable development, and our progress towards it.

HACEY worked to increase youth participation in the

process and encouraged young leaders to work

towards the future they wanted.

HACEY also attended the International AIDS

Conference held in Washington DC, USA which was a

gathering of governments, organizations and

individuals working in the field of HIV, as well as

policymakers, people living with HIV and others

committed to ending the epidemic. The conference,

themed ‘turning the tide together’ mobilized

stakeholders to join together to bring the epidemic to

a decided end.

Page 33: Hacey's health initiative   5years of making positive change

LOOKING FORWARD . . .

The last five years has been filled with

activities and programs geared at

achieving the goal of the organization.

We have experienced challenge in

delivering services to achieve positive

change in our society, but we have also

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

on scaling up successful and impactful

interventions; for long term, we need to
