ECEWS-Red Cross Initiative

Project Highlight

In May 2003, ECEWS and the Nigerian Red Cross held a successful HIV/AIDS essay competition. The competition held in over 200 secondary schools in Akwa Ibom State.

ECEWS-Red Cross Initiative

Despite the challenges of raising awareness about HIV/AIDS in rural areas, the ECEWS and the Nigerian Red Cross Society worked together in May 2003 to create an impactful initiative. The essay competition held in over 200 secondary schools in Akwa Ibom State was a tremendous success, with over 350 entries received. This competition provided an excellent opportunity for students to learn about HIV/AIDS and to express their knowledge through their essays. The project not only helped to educate young people but also highlighted the lack of awareness among rural dwellers regarding the transmission of HIV through blood transfusion and sharing of sharp objects.
