Launched in 2020 under the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being, the project by EL-Cubed International Limited has become a trusted support system for vulnerable communities.
In that time, it has delivered professional services at no cost to 355 people through the dedication of 28 volunteer practitioners.
Backed by the generosity of eight sponsors and donors, including the 2022 Flourish Africa Award and MOE Advisory Limited, the initiative has raised ₦6.18 million to sustain operations.
According to the organisation, its work has helped families resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, and achieve stability, while individuals facing mental health challenges have found safe spaces for healing.
Marking its fifth anniversary, the organisation unveiled The Inner Strength Project (TISP), a new initiative targeting communities experiencing extreme poverty.
The programme seeks to restore resilience and emotional well-being where survival often overshadows psychological needs.
JTW highlights that untreated trauma, depression, and stress—often linked to rape, adverse childhood experiences, domestic violence, and substance abuse—can entrench cycles of poverty and hopelessness.
TISP aims to break these cycles by normalising conversations around mental health, offering workshops on stress management, providing group counselling, and equipping local leaders with practical tools to sustain wellness initiatives.
Planned activities include free mental health first aid training, play therapy for children, storytelling and creative arts for trauma recovery, and the creation of Safe Space Hubs where residents can access support and resources.
“By strengthening inner resilience, people can rise above poverty,” the organisation said.
