The INCLUDE Project

Despite WHO-approved HIV self-testing, young Nigerians with disabilities still face stigma, inaccessibility, and isolation when it comes to their sexual health.

OUR SOUND SOLUTION

The INCLUDE Initiative

The Youth for HPV (Y4HPV) initiative is dedicated to increasing HPV vaccine awareness and uptake through community-led interventions. We focus on addressing the barriers preventing adolescents, parents, and youth from accessing HPV vaccination while equipping local champions to advocate for public health solutions.
