Support My Psychology Studies to Help Nigeria

What are you raising money for?

I am raising money to cover the costs associated with studying psychology abroad. This includes tuition fees, visa application, travel expenses, accommodation, books, and other essential academic materials. Mental health education is not widely developed in Nigeria, and studying abroad will give me access to high-quality training and resources that will help me contribute meaningfully to mental health awareness and support in my country. Since I do not have the financial means to afford this education on my own, I am seeking support from generous individuals who believe in the power of education and mental health advocacy. I hope to be enabled so that I can return well-equipped to better my country.

Why are you raising the funds?

Mental health in Nigeria is often misunderstood, underfunded, and heavily stigmatized. Many people struggle in silence due to a lack of awareness, resources, and professional support. I am passionate about changing this narrative by studying psychology abroad, where I can gain world-class education, training, and research experience. Unfortunately, the financial burden of tuition, travel, and living expenses is overwhelming. As an international student, I face high costs, and without a scholarship or external funding, my dream of becoming a psychologist and bringing change to Nigeria's mental health system may not be possible. I am raising funds to cover my education and related expenses, ensuring that I can return home with the knowledge, skills, and expertise to advocate for mental health, provide support, and contribute to lasting change. Your support, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to making mental health care more accessible in Nigeria.

What will the funds raised help achieve?

The funds raised will help me access quality education in psychology, equipping me with the knowledge and skills needed to address Nigeria’s mental health crisis. By studying abroad, I will gain exposure to advanced research, therapies, and interventions that can be adapted to fit the Nigerian context. Upon completing my studies, I plan to return to Nigeria and work towards improving mental health awareness, reducing stigma, and providing accessible support for those in need. I hope to engage in advocacy, policy change, and community outreach programs that make mental health care more widely accepted and available. Your support will not just help me achieve my dreams but will also contribute to a larger mission of improving mental well-being in Nigeria. Together, we can create a society where mental health is prioritized, understood, and supported.
