The 4 participants who are from Madagscar, Zambia, South Africa and Rwanda are targeting 10 schools as well as community visits for sensitization on healthy living and emphasis on the need for physical activity and observing a healthy nutrition as well as lifestyle. In addition, they have rolled out plans for a walk dubbed ‘Walk 4Her’  which will enable them to develop and increase awareness to girls and young women about the prevention and effects of NCDs which will eventually aid the participants in contributing to reduction of NCDs prevalence in the society. Officials from the Non Communicable Diseases’ Alliance present urged the YESS participants to be determined and offered their unending support to the campaign. KGGA Staff as well as Girl Guides from State House Primary were also in attendance.
