  • Mental Health Foundation of Nigeria  ·  Est. 2007

    We're building a Nigeria
    where no one
    suffers in silence.

    Mental health is real. The pressure is real.
    More Nigerians are struggling quietly than we admit.
    We are here to change that.

    The Numbers Behind the Silence

    The data reveals
    what silence has hidden.

    Nigeria is facing a mental health crisis that policy, culture, and underfunding have allowed to grow in the dark. These are the four facts we cannot ignore.

    1 in 4
    Nigerians will experience a mental health condition - over 50 million people.
    250
    Psychiatrists for 220 million people. Just one for every 880,000 Nigerians.
    90%
    Of Nigerians who need mental health care will never receive any at all.
    1%
    Of Nigeria's health budget goes to mental health - a fraction of the need.

    Our Impact

    Every number
    is a real person.

    Since 2007, behind every number is a real person. People who once felt completely alone, who now feel seen, heard, and supported.
