Young adults around the country will have the opportunity to chat one-on-one with 2023 Miss Malaika Ghana, Queen Lady Nana Yaa Nsarko, by the end of February 2024, as she begins her campaign to increase awareness of HIV/AIDS prevention by visiting individuals at home.
Young adolescents who attend school and those who do not are the target audience for the “Live On Campaign with Miss Malaika Ghana 2023” initiative. The target audience will see the recently crowned Beauty Queen interacting with young teens and using the opportunity to impart HIV/AIDS prevention knowledge to them.
She would also encourage young teens to access counselling and testing services.
As an ambassador for the Ghana AIDS Commission, Queen Lady Nsarko will launch an HIV/AIDS prevention campaign throughout the nation’s communities, particularly in the red flag areas where the virus is most common, with the help of her team from Miss Malaika Ghana and other HIV/AIDS specialists from NACP.
She planned to take the campaign to public spaces frequented by head porters, also known as Kayayeis, such as schools, churches, mosques, markets, shopping malls, taxi ranks, truck stops, and bus terminals.
The Beauty Queen has since her unveiling as HIV/AIDS prevention Ambassador, been under training at the National AIDS/STI Control Programme, preparing assiduously for this project which aims among other things to sustain the gains made in the fight against the HIV/AIDS and to help to reduce further, the number of new cases.
Following the media introduction of ART@20 on Friday, February 16, 2024, the journalist expressed her excitement in an interview: “I am eager for this project to begin so that I can impart the knowledge I have gained to my peers.” With the gracious assistance of the Ghana AIDS Commission, which has made a tremendous impact in the fight against HIV/AIDS, I am thrilled to be able to serve my nation, Ghana, on a larger scale.
