Advocacy that moves
communities.
From the streets of Lagos to school assemblies and festival stages,
our campaigns turn awareness into testing, treatment and lasting behaviour change.
The Lagos AIDS Walk
The Lagos AIDS Walk (LAW) is BCHDI’s flagship annual advocacy event, organised in conjunction with the Lagos State Agency for the Control of AIDS (LSACA). It brings together hundreds of participants young people, health workers, celebrities and government stakeholders to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, reduce stigma, and encourage voluntary testing under the rallying call: “Know Your HIV Status Today.”
The walk combines a public march with free testing, counseling, entertainment and advocacy, making prevention visible and accessible in the heart of the city.
One Test Saves Two Lives
Our Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission campaign brings HIV testing and counseling directly to expectant mothers because a single test can protect both a mother and her unborn child.
Over 800 pregnant women have been counseled and tested. The 76 who tested positive were enrolled in a comprehensive support program including nutrition support, home-based care and access to treatment.
School HIV & AIDS Education
We take prevention into classrooms equipping adolescents with accurate information about sexual and reproductive health, HIV transmission and stigma reduction, before misinformation takes hold.
Meeting people where they gather.
BCHDI integrates health advocacy into cultural moments and festivals including the Felabration festival using music, entertainment and mass gatherings as platforms to spread prevention messaging, distribute materials and normalise conversations around HIV, malaria and maternal health.
Walk with us. Test with us. Advocate with us.
Volunteers power every campaign we run.
