We’re proud to celebrate Dr. Isaac Yeboah, a distinguished WMI Alum and West Africa Regional Coordinator, on his scholarship award from the Mastercard Foundation through the Africa Health Collaborative to pursue a Master of Public Health (Global Health & Non-Communicable Diseases) at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, building on his strong foundation as a medical doctor and changemaker.
This remarkable achievement is a testament to his unwavering commitment to healthcare, leadership, and community impact.
Dr. Isaac is also the Founder of the Bold Step Foundation, which advances adolescent sexual and reproductive health education in rural communities, and serves as an active voice in public health advocacy and policy influence in Ghana.
Dr. Yeboah continues to exemplify what it means to lead with purpose and serve with impact.
Join us in congratulating him on this well-deserved milestone and cheering him on as he continues to transform lives through global health!

Today, we want to highlight WMI Alum Jennifer Orlu-orlu, a nursing graduate from the University of Port Harcourt, and her incredible impact on youth development in Nigeria.
Through her organization, Lively Youth Health and Empowerment Initiative, Jennifer recently completed her WMI-funded project; Project 50-25 (1.0) — a Youth Skill Acquisition Program that trained 50 young people in practical, income-generating skills.
Her team also:
✅ Organized community rallies to raise awareness
✅ Led health outreaches in secondary schools and orphanages
✅ Hosted mentorship sessions for participants
✅ Secured apprenticeship and internship placements so beneficiaries can continue building their skills
✅ Partnered with local groups, including churches and orphanages
In total, the project directly trained 50 youth and reached over 500 others through community outreach and health education initiatives.
From meeting with community leaders to secure sustainable support, to organizing rallies and youth-friendly health services, Jennifer continues to demonstrate what it means to be a WMI changemaker.
