Unique Okewoye

Unique is a Nigerian young changemaker dedicated to improving youth health outcomes by providing education and access to essential care. Through a combination of virtual health talks and targeted community outreach programs, she empowers young people to make informed decisions about their well-being and to challenge harmful health practices. Under her visionary leadership, Health Impact for Youth has expanded its scope to include mental health campaigns, school visits, and online learning initiatives, all designed to equip youth with the knowledge and resources they need to make healthier choices.   

As a passionate mental health advocate, Unique’s work is anchored in three strategic pillars. The first is advocacy, where she coordinates virtual programs that address pressing mental health issues and work to dispel common myths and misconceptions. The second pillar is awareness; she actively encourages young people to speak openly about their mental health and engages at the policy level to promote the adoption of more effective mental health policies. The third pillar involves outreach, with her team organizing community gatherings that provide support and relief to marginalized groups, ensuring that no young person is left behind.   

Currently, Unique is focused on expanding the initiative’s ambassador program and strengthening its online presence. Her goal is to broaden Health Impact for Youth’s network, reaching even more young people across Nigeria and equipping them with the tools and support they need to lead healthier, more empowered lives.
