The NSAS campaign further extended its impact by engaging parents of Ayer Amba Secondary School, recognizing that community-wide awareness is critical in combating stroke. Parents were educated on stroke risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, unhealthy diets, stress, and physical inactivity, while also learning how early recognition and immediate medical attention can save lives and reduce disability.
The project demonstrates how schools can become powerful centers for public health education. By educating students, teachers, parents, and school leaders together, the Ethiopia Stroke Foundation is helping build communities that are informed, prepared, and proactive in stroke prevention.
As the National School Stroke Awareness  continues to grow, the Ethiopia Stroke Foundation remains dedicated to expanding its outreach to more schools and communities across Ethiopia. Through awareness, education, collaboration, and prevention, the Foundation is working toward a future where fewer lives are lost to stroke and more people understand the importance of brain health and early action.
In addition to student awareness sessions, the Foundation also conducted dedicated awareness programs for school principals and administrative bodies within Bole Sub-City schools. These discussions focused on the importance of preventive health education, recognizing stroke symptoms early, and promoting healthier lifestyles among students and school communities.
