About me
My name is Emilia Eyo.I had undergone a 3-year training on sexuality, Leadership and Life Management Skills organized by Girls’ Power Initiative (GPI),Nigeria where I graduated as a Peer Health Educator on Sexuality, Gender, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights including sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, life management and personal empowerment issues. I worked with Girls’ Power Initiative (GPI), Nigeria as a Youth facilitator for about 2years where I facilitated sessions on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights issues including HIV/AIDS, this had given me the opportunity to enhance my facilitating and interact with young people as well as give them correct information that will assist them make informed decisions about their health especially their sexual and reproductive health.
I also volunteer for Positive Development Foundation (PDF), Nigeria as a Peer Health Educator to carry out care and support on people living with HIV/AIDS where I interact with people living with HIV/AIDS as well as give them support and encouragement as well as refer them when necessary.

I am also a member of the Dance4life School Tour Team in Calabar where I live and work, I have had opportunities to mobilize/organize programmes on HIV/AIDS (prevention programmes) to create more awareness about HIV/AIDS with young people (both in and out of school) as volunteers in my community using entertainment as a major tool in all the events.

I have been involved in organizing/executing and reporting programmes/events for young people on sexual and reproductive health and rights as well as HIV/AIDS for the past 7 years and have gained experience in planning, teamwork, analytical and critical thinking, advocacy, reporting and facilitating.

I am a graduate of computer science and have excellent computer skills; I am open to new ideas and learning new skills. I love to add creativity and entertainment to my work/events as I believe young people are drawn to the media more in recent times.
