Often, by the time symptoms show, the damage is already done. That’s why Eso Kidney Alive took our message straight to the people — to where they live, learn, and trade.
Last week, our awareness campaign moved through Agbarho, Delta State, stopping first at Agbarho Grammar School and then at the bustling Agbarho Community Market. The goal was simple: educate, screen, and spark conversations about kidney health before dialysis becomes the only option.
The outreach focused on making kidney health information accessible to everyday people in a simple and impactful way.
Your Small Donations Make A Bigger Impact On Someone’s Life, So please donate and help us.
Catching It Early Students are tomorrow’s teachers, parents, and leaders. If they learn kidney health now, they’ll protect themselves and their families later.
The silent signs: Fatigue, swelling, changes in urination — symptoms people often blame on “stress” or “other causes”
Risk factors: High blood pressure, diabetes, frequent use of painkillers, dehydration, and family history
Prevention: Drink water, reduce salt, avoid self-medication, and get regular checkups
We showed them that kidney disease affects 1 in 10 people globally. In Nigeria, late detection is a major reason many end up on dialysis. The students asked honest questions, and we left them with one message: Know your numbers. Protect your kidneys
At Agbarho Community Market: Meeting Traders Where They Are From yam sellers to tailors, market traders are busy. Health checks are usually last on the list. So we brought the conversation to them.
Shared real stories of people living with kidney disease, including the challenges of dialysis and the life-changing impact of organ donation
Busted myths around donation — especially cultural and religious fears that stop families from considering it
Encouraged screening for blood pressure, blood sugar, and basic kidney risk factors
Traders told us they’d never had anyone explain kidney health in simple terms before. Many promised to tell their families and get checked. That’s how awareness spreads — one conversation at a time.
Stories like Esohe Sarah Osagiede’s remind us that kidney disease can pause careers, dreams, and daily life. But early action can prevent or delay dialysis and transplant.
Eso Kidney Alive believes awareness works best when it’s local, relatable, and practical. Agbarho Grammar School and Agbarho Community Market gave us the chance to reach both the next generation and the backbone of the community.
Organ donation is life changing. Knowledge is life saving.Check your risk: Do you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney disease? Talk to a health worker.
Talk about it: Share what you learned with 3 people today. Stigma dies when we speak up.
Consider donation: Like Esohe’s mother, donors can live healthy lives while giving someone else a second chance
We’re grateful to the management of Agbarho Grammar School, the market leaders, and every student and trader who stopped to listen. This is just the start.
