Overview

The Schools’ Education and Training Workshops on Asthma Management is an initiative of the Amaka Chiwuike-Uba Foundation (ACUF) designed to improve asthma awareness and care within educational institutions. This school-based program trains students, teachers, school nurses, and support staff on how to recognize, respond to, and manage asthma symptoms effectively—ensuring that children with asthma are supported, safe, and able to thrive in school environments.

The program also advocates for the development of asthma-friendly policies and healthier indoor environments in schools.

  • To train school staff on the use of asthma medication and inhaler techniques
  • To empower students with asthma to manage their condition and advocate for themselves
