NYLI Center for Health and Well-Being Joins AMSA-WVSU’s Kaagapay Outreach for Negrosanon Communities
The NYLI Center for Health and Well-Being joined the Asian Medical Students' Association WVSU (AMSA-WVSU) and Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. – Microfinance (RAFI-MFI) in the Kaagapay Outreach initiative conducted yesterday in Canlaon City and La Castellana. The effort reached 300 beneficiaries, with 150 individuals served in each site.
Additionally, the outreach program for victims of Typhoon Tino expanded to other areas, including La Carlota and Calatrava, on December 1, 2025, reaching 150 individuals in these communities.
Led by AMSA-WVSU and supported by various community partners, the outreach brought essential health services closer to underserved families. As part of the initiative, NYLI provided Psychological First Aid and psychosocial support, ensuring that mental and emotional care formed a vital component of the holistic services delivered.
Beneficiaries received vital signs screening from community health workers, medical consultations facilitated by volunteer doctors, psychosocial support, and hygiene kits with essential medications to support their immediate needs.
Through collective action and youth-driven service, NYLI remains committed to uplifting the well-being and dignity of Negrosanon communities, standing alongside partners who share the mission of accessible and community-centered care.
