Minematters Health and Wellness Foundation (MHAWF) is the formally registered Nigerian entity of Minematters Foundation Inc. CAC Registration No. 8054234. MHAWF operates five active programs serving students and communities across Edo State.

CAC Registration No. 8054234Our mission is to make mental health education and support accessible to every young person in Nigeria regardless of their school, their community, or their circumstances. We build programs that reach students where they are, train peer leaders who understand their experiences, and create events that break the stigma around mental health one conversation at a time.
We envision a Nigeria where no student faces mental health challenges alone. Where every secondary school has trained peer educators. Where every university campus has an active mental health chapter. Where MindFest brings thousands of young people together every year to speak openly, heal together, and build better futures.
What we've done
Minematters Foundation has worked directly with schools in rural Edo State communities, providing practical support including equipment, supplies, and resources to help create better learning environments for students who need it most.
Donate NowMinematters Foundation has donated uniforms, books, and school supplies to primary school students in underserved communities across Edo State, ensuring that financial hardship does not become a barrier to education.
Donate NowSeeing students wear their new uniforms and hold their branded notebooks is why we do this work. Every donation, every partnership, and every program comes back to this moment — a child with the tools they need to show up, learn, and believe in their future.
Donate NowCommunity partnership
Minematters Foundation partnered with Locus Eye Clinic to bring school supplies and free eye exams to children at an orphanage. Every child received branded notebooks and supplies, and those who needed vision care got access to it that day. This is what community partnership looks like in practice. Two organizations showing up together for children who needed them most.
