Young people are Africa’s greatest asset, yet millions are navigating mental health challenges without knowledge, support, or access to care. At MHYI, we believe a mentally healthy generation is the foundation of a thriving Africa, and we cannot build that alone.
Partnering with MHYI means aligning with a movement that is community-owned, youth-led, and rooted in evidence. We go beyond awareness by tackling the root causes of poor mental health, including gender-based violence, substance abuse, SRHR gaps, and climate-related stress, to create change that actually lasts.
Here is what makes MHYI a partner worth choosing:
Real, measurable reach We have directly reached over 300,000 young people and engaged more than 4 million through digital campaigns across Nigeria
Government-backed credibility Our work is recognised by the Federal Ministry of Youth Development and Ministry of Health, giving partners a trusted and credible platform
Youth-led and community-rooted Our peer-led model ensures local ownership, deeper trust, and more sustainable outcomes in every community we enter
Innovative approach We combine digital platforms and creative expression through Talk to Tee and Artvocacy to engage young people in the ways they respond to most
Policy-level influence Our research and advocacy are actively shaping national and regional frameworks, meaning your partnership contributes to systems change, not just service delivery
When you partner with MHYI, you are not just supporting a programme. You are co-creating the mental health infrastructure that Africa’s next generation deserves.
