Dear Partners,
The fight against HIV has evolved dramatically over the past decades. Today, scientific innovations are creating new opportunities to prevent infections before they occur. One of the most promising developments is Lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention option that can provide protection for months at a time.
For adolescents who face challenges with daily medication adherence, this innovation could be transformative. It offers privacy, convenience, and consistent protection, making it especially relevant for vulnerable youth populations.
Empower Future Initiative is committed to ensuring that Nigerian adolescents are not left behind as these advances become available. We are preparing to promote awareness, understanding, and adoption of long-acting HIV prevention among communities that need it most.
Our journey has begun with the support of two generous donors. Their contributions are helping us move from planning to readiness. However, much more support is needed to reach the thousands of young people who could benefit from this innovation.
Together, we can help usher in a new era of HIV prevention and create healthier futures for adolescents across Nigeria.
