The Congenital Heart Disease Foundation of Nigeria (CHDFNigeria) invites you to the CHD Awareness Walk happening this Saturday, May 31st, 2025, in Abeokuta, Ogun State. This impactful event aligns with our mission to advocate for children living with congenital heart disease (CHD) in Nigeria and support their families through awareness, education, and action.
Why This Walk Matters
Each year, thousands of Nigerian children are born with congenital heart defects (CHD), a range of structural heart abnormalities that can severely impact their lives. Many of them face:
- Delayed or missed diagnoses
- Limited access to pediatric cardiologists
- Financial and emotional stress on families
Our CHD Awareness Walk serves as a powerful platform to raise public awareness, build community support, and advocate for improved healthcare systems for children affected by CHD.
What We’re Walking For
- Raise Awareness: Educate communities about CHD and its prevalence in Nigeria.
- Support Families: Stand in solidarity with those caring for children with CHD.
- Advocate for Better Care: Push for policy changes and improved access to life-saving treatment.
- Raise Funds: Support CHDFNigeria’s work in providing medical aid, educational resources, and emotional support.
