HAI carried out the project with Eyes of a Lagos Boy, Healthinika, Mitimeth, Ecolearn.ng, the Lagos State Waterways Authority , and with support from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Led by Tuyi Mebawondu, the medical team reached over one thousand residents, delivering critical health interventions and referrals to address gaps in public health access.
HAI Project Coordinator Bolaji Alonge revealed that the organisation has engaged with Epe communities since 2018. The project Coordinator said: “Do you know that Ayomide Bello, Nigeria’s first female Olympic flatwater canoeist and Tokyo 2020 participant, is from Saga village? This corner of Lagos brims with talent. Two of the three communities – Oriba and Saga are accessible only by boat.”
She said the project also seeks to raise awareness of climate change impacts and continuously document conditions within the community.
