Our Impact
We Work in Nigeria and the United States
We adopted the theory behind the name kintsukuroi. In empathizing, educating, and empowering one another, we teach people to embrace all their imperfections, explore healing and appreciate the scars that create their beautiful stories. Indeed, the piece sometimes looks even more beautiful, for haven been broken.
EMPATHIZE
Our research revealed a lack of clinical psychologists in major clinics and hospitals in Adamawa State, Yola, leaving the community's psychological needs unmet amid the Boko Haram conflict. Recognizing the urgent need, especially for internally displaced persons at risk of PTSD and depression, we acted immediately. Since 2016, we have extended support across Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan, Ghana, and Washington DC.
EDUCATE
We engaged a private clinical psychologist and began mental health outreach in hospitals, schools, IDP camps, and host communities. Our mission includes education, with group counseling on mental illness signs, first aid, and the importance of seeking help despite stigma. We launched a mental health segment on local radio and TV, and provided helplines for scheduling private counseling sessions.
EMPOWER
Our skill acquisition workshops have empowered internally displaced young girls and women affected by the Boko Haram conflict, now residing in host communities. After group counseling, they received education on financial literacy and training in skills such as tailoring and catering. A fundraiser was held to exhibit and sell their products, with proceeds distributed as startup capital for their businesses. We have conducted similar workshops across several states in Nigeria.
