The Olive Aventurine


A major barrier to women’s mental health care in Nigeria is being removed.

For years, many families in Nigeria have struggled to find appropriate mental health care for their daughters, wives, and sisters.

Now, through a joint effort with The Olive Prime, the first women-only treatment centre in Nigeria has been established, creating a safe space where women can finally get the help they need.

This milestone opens new pathways for women to receive care safely, privately, and with dignity.

Reconnect HDI is committed to supporting solutions that expand access where it is needed most.
