The scale of Nigeria’s mental health crisis demands urgent action.
50 million Nigerians live with mental health challenges. Over 75% lack access to professional care.
SWW is closing this gap, ensuring more people have free access to care and support.
A new generation is changing the mental health conversation.
About 80% of callers to our helpline are aged 18–30.
This reflects a powerful cultural shift: young people are increasingly choosing to seek help, speak up, and prioritise their wellbeing.
The calls we receive tell a deeper story about mental health in Nigeria.
Nearly 55% of our helpline callers reported suicidal ideation as a signal of acute psychological distress
