APIN Public Health Initiatives

Our Benue State team went all out for APIN's 25th Anniversary!

APIN Benue raised over 3 million naira and conducted a health outreach at Ichwa IDP Camp, North Bank, Makurdi. The team provided free health screenings, medical consultations, medications, nutritional assessments and supplementation, and other medical services to almost 1,600 internally displaced adults and children.

Pregnant women received Mama Packs, and 50 adolescent girls received sanitary supplies to improve menstrual hygiene. Caregivers went home knowing how to prepare nutritious meals and feed their children better. Through our Community Care Management Programme (CCMP), they will also receive adequate supplies of nutritional supplements to increase essential nutrient intake and promote healthy weight gain.

The team gathered at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Makurdi, with gifts, to celebrate APIN's 25 years of impact and offer prayers for another successful 25 years to come.

Thanks to Benue State Television for covering and sharing the story.

Well done and congrats to the entire APIN Benue Team!

As we count down to APIN’s 25th anniversary, our Plateau State team marked this special season with a meaningful act of kindness to support women, families, and vulnerable communities.

Across five health facilities, about 200 women received specially curated delivery packs containing essential maternal care items including diapers, methylated spirit, mackintosh, sanitary pads, vaseline, cord clamps, packets of blades, and delivery pads to support safer deliveries and healthier outcomes.

We also celebrated male partners who accompanied their pregnant wives, expressing appreciation for their support with gifts and reinforcing the importance of shared responsibility in maternal health.

Beyond the hospitals, food items, including bags of beans, garri, rice, and corn and hygiene supplies were donated to the Plateau State Correctional Facility, extending care and compassion to even more members of the community.

Through health education on PMTCT, antenatal care, HIV awareness, and the importance of screening, our Clinical and Prevention Team also empowered women with knowledge that can transform lives.

For 25 years, APIN has remained committed to care, compassion, and community impact. Every act of kindness brings us one step closer to a healthier, more hopeful future.

25 years ago, APIN began as a project of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, focused on HIV.

Today, we're a leading public health NGO working alongside governments and partners to strengthen health systems, build health workforce capacity and expand last-mile access to quality health services and commodities across Nigeria.

Over the next few weeks, leading up to our 25th Anniversary Public Health Symposium on June 2, 2026, we'll be sharing our journey, the people behind it, the partnerships that made it possible, and our vision for the next 25 years.

Stay with us. The journey begins now.
