Today is World Hepatitis Day 2026, and this year’s theme is “Hepatitis: Let’s break it down.”

Let’s break down the hard facts: More than 20 million Nigerians are living with viral hepatitis, and the majority are unaware of their status. In Nigeria, the national immunisation schedule includes a vaccine only for Hepatitis B, which is provided free of charge to newborns and children under five. While Hepatitis B cannot currently be cured, it can be effectively managed with lifelong treatment. Hepatitis C, however, has no vaccine but is completely curable with appropriate treatment.

Because we don’t have a single vaccine for every type, testing remains our ultimate shield. We must break down the high diagnostic costs and the stigma keeping people in the dark.

Take action for your liver health today:
- Get vaccinated against Hepatitis B.
- Get tested to know your exact type and status.
- Break the silence—share this truth with someone today!

Not every mental health struggle announces itself with tears. Often, it hides in plain sight behind a mask of daily routines.

In a fast-paced environment, it is incredibly easy to mistake severe clinical anxiety or depression for ordinary burnout, “laziness,” or fatigue. But knowing how to distinguish temporary stress from a deeper mental health issue can completely change the trajectory of someone’s recovery.

According to data reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2025, approximately 20 million Nigerians live with mental health conditions, yet an overwhelming majority, up to 90%, face critical gaps in accessing proper care. Recognizing the subtle behavioral shifts in ourselves and our colleagues is the vital first step toward building truly supportive communities.

Watch through the guide to see the subtle differences we often overlook. ➡️
Let’s change the narrative together. 💚

The deeper you dig into the data, the clearer the crisis becomes.

Long before a young person can ever step foot inside a hospital or speak to a therapist, they have to survive a brutal wall of cultural labels. Our immediate societal diagnosis is to dismiss real biological illnesses strictly as “spiritual attacks”, “village people”, or “attention-seeking”.

This mislabeling forces millions of youths to suffer in silence out of deep shame. The tragic irony? According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2025 data, it is estimated that a staggering 90% of Nigerians with mental health conditions are currently completely locked out of professional medical care. They aren’t avoiding hospitals; they are being talked out of them by the community.

It’s time to rewrite the script, delete the toxic labels, and change the narrative. Let’s pass the care instead.

While we continue to champion mental health awareness, it’s important to understand the realities many young people in Nigeria face every day. Here are a few key insights into the current state of youth mental health in Nigeria.

Mental health challenges are more common than many realize, yet stigma, limited access to care, and silence continue to prevent many young people from getting the support they need.

Stay tuned as we share more insights, raise awareness, and explore why collective action is essential to improving youth mental health in Nigeria.

Three days. One shared vision. Countless ideas for the future.

Here’s a sneak peek into our recent 3-day retreat hosted by DCL, where WAVA joined fellow colleagues and partners for an engaging experience centered on learning, strategy, and collaboration.

From hands-on AI training and organizational strategic profiling to meaningful conversations and team bonding, the retreat challenged us to think differently, strengthen our capacity, and embrace new ways of working together to create greater impact.

At WAVA, we believe that investing in people, partnerships, and innovation is essential to building stronger organizations and advancing sustainable change.

A big thank you to DCL for convening this inspiring retreat and creating a space where ideas could grow, partnerships could deepen, and teams could reconnect.

This is just the beginning. We’re excited about what’s ahead.
