Who We Are

There are over 40 Million Nigerians suffering from one form of mental illness or the other. There are about 25 Psychiatric hospitals and and 270 Consultant Psychiatrist in a country of over 250 million Nigerians. Diagnosing patients for treatment is a serious challenge, families result to traditional treatment which in most cases are are not the solution. After many years of self treatment, patients are left to the street. There are over 10 million Vagrants on the streets, homeless and probably spend the rest of their life in miserable condition. unfortunately, there is no National Identity or data base to locate the families of those assisted, efforts to also seek the assistance of the Nigeria Police in locating their families failed hence the need to adopt social media as a means to identifying their families.
