Celebrating Excellence at the SSHI Volunteers Workshop 2025

The Shape Society Health Initiative - SSHI proudly recognized outstanding contributions during the 2025 Volunteers Workshop, held as part of our 4th Anniversary celebration. The event brought together young changemakers, health advocates, and professionals committed to building healthier communities across Nigeria.

In appreciation of their dedication and insightful contributions, our speaker (Dr Antor Ndep) and panellists (Mr Kator Igbudu MPH, Mr. Imo Uchenna & Miss Molly Ogbodum) were presented with Awards of Honour and Awards of Recognition for inspiring and empowering participants through their knowledge and leadership. Their sessions sparked meaningful dialogue on youth involvement, innovation, and sustainable health action.

We also celebrated Melody Maldini Idoko , one of our most committed and dedicated volunteers, whose consistency, teamwork, and passion have set a strong example for others. Her service reflects the true spirit of volunteerism that drives SSHI’s mission.

Through their leadership and service, these individuals remind us that change begins with action. SSHI remains committed to nurturing young leaders who will continue to shape healthier, more resilient communities.
