Meet Kadija (16) and Hajara (17), two determined girls changing lives in their Kano community.
As community-directed distributors for the Reaching The Last Mile Fund, implemented through Sightsavers International, they walk for hours under the sun, distributing medicine, educating families, and reaching even the most remote homes.
“We don’t do it for the money,” Hajara says. “We do it because our people need us.”
Together, they’ve helped protect hundreds from diseases like river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. However, their dream extends beyond medicine distribution: They aspire to become medical doctors.
“One day,” Kadija says, “we want to be the ones our community calls when there is a health emergency.”
They may be young, but their steps are bold. Their journey is just beginning, and it’s filled with hope, service, and a dream to heal even more.
