Action Health Incorporated (AHI)
 |
| AHI's resource library, stocked with books on health, gender, human rights, HIV/AIDS, violence, and more, is free and open to young people in Lagos. |
Founded in 1989 in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, AHI is a local, national, and regional leader on adolescent health and rights. AHI played a key role in the development of a sexuality education curriculum for Nigeria's public schools, adopted by the federal government in 2000 and currently undergoing pilot implementation in several Nigerian states. AHI trains peer educators, medical professionals, and fellow nongovernmental organizations to provide quality sexuality education to young people, and reaches out to local youth through information sessions, skills programs, a resource library, and a clinic that serves over 30,000 adolescents each year. IWHC has supported AHI since 1990.
