Empowering Our Youth Through Epilepsy Awareness and Skills Development

Empowering Our Youth Through Epilepsy Awareness and Skills Development

At Epicare Africa, we are committed to empowering young people with knowledge and opportunity. Recently, we trained youth on epilepsy awareness and seizure first aid, equipping them with skills to respond safely and support people living with epilepsy in their communities.
In addition to the training, the participants also received full TVET bursaries, giving them the chance to pursue technical and vocational education. By combining health education with access to skills training, Epicare Africa is helping young people build brighter futures while becoming champions of epilepsy awareness in their communities.
