Health and Environmental Support Project (HESP)
The Health and Environmental Support project is aimed at raising the next generation of climate change leaders and improving the health conditions of individuals in local and hard to reach areas. Through strategic partnerships, we provide access to basic medical services such as consultation, diagnosis, dispensary and sensitization to undeserved communities in Nigeria. Some of the programs under HESP include:
Feed the Children Initiative (FCI)
Under this initiative, GDF provides food items and other relief materials for families of indigent children as a means of ensuring that
the children have access to nutritious meal necessary for brain development and their general well-being.
Sustained Action Against Malaria Program (SAAMP)
Under SAAMP, GDF provides materials like mosquito nets, test, drugs and relevant information for preventing and treating malaria in
rural communities especially for nursing mothers and other
vulnerable persons.
Change Leaders Initiative
This is a program that develops the capacity of selected youths to
become health, environment and climate change advocates in Nigeria. It
adopts the TED approach of “Train”, “Equip” and “Deploy” to ensure
that beneficiaries become active changemakers working with other
development organizations to initiate impactful projects.
Health Outreach for Rural Communities (HORC)
Rural areas where the poor and disadvantaged reside often lack access
to quality health care services. This project is designed to provide rural communities with free medical test and medication and periodic health talks and sensitization and existing health issues in the community.
