How I want to make an Impact

I want to make an impact using my medical expertise, talents and passion for service to others. I believe that I am a valuable resource to others if I am willing to utilize my skills and resources to improve the lives of others. I want to ensure that when I make an impact in a community I involve them in the process to ensure that I empower them with the knowledge and networks they need to then take ownership of the work, scale it up and become self sufficient and even pay it forward and help others. 

I do this by providing access to health information to health information and services. Good health is key in ensuring people are productive and contribute to development. I am working in digital health innovation: i.e. using various forms of technology to improve health service delivery. I also generate health promotion messages that are interactive, contextualized to target audiences, fun, and easy to understand which are delivered using various platforms including multimedia and social media platforms. 

I have established a non-profit called Health Access Initiative that works uses technology to improve access to health information and services.

Hi Zayithwa,

Have you heard about YouthLead’s new #WatchOurImpact Campaign? I am an intern working with YouthLead this summer and I wanted to personally reach out to you about the contest because I think you would be a perfect candidate to submit an entry given your involvement in your community and passion for making the world a better place! 

The #WatchOurImpact Campaign, launched on June 7 in partnership with GenU and USAID, aims to showcase the power of youth to impact change in their communities. Entering the campaign entails submitting an original, three-minute video or slideshow in Arabic, English, French, or Spanish that tells the story of your actions to advance local, national, or global development. The story you tell can be personal, that of a group of young changemakers, or that of a youth-led organization. 

Entering is super easy — here’s how:

1. Create a three-minute video or slideshow that meets the contest requirements.

2. Upload your video or slideshow to YouTube.

3. Fill out the submission form. You must be a member of YouthLead.org to submit, but registration is free.

4. Encourage your friends and network to vote for your submission on social media by sharing the link once it’s posted on the #WatchOurImpact Contest Video Gallery page and by using #WatchOurImpact.

Here are some how-to videos and examples to get you started. What might you want to highlight? Have you helped promote mask wearing and social distancing in your community during the pandemic? Have you developed an after school program for young people? Have you started a small business? These are just a few examples to get you started, but there are countless others to choose from. What do you want to showcase from the important work you’ve been doing?

The work you’ve done in your community deserves to be highlighted. Please consider entering the #WatchOurImpact Campaign to show the world how you have made a difference! Submissions will be accepted until July 23.  If you have any questions or concerns about the Campaign or how to enter, do not hesitate to reach out. I would be more than happy to help!

 

Sincerely,

Miriam
