IMPACT I The UnLearning Children Foundation
Helping, Uplifting, Guiding
Africa has the highest suicide rates globally according to the World Health Organization.
The UnLearning Children Foundation is dedicated to reducing the alarmingly high suicide rates among young people on the continent—because every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, not just survive.
We’re all about UnLearning what society has taught our children about how they should feel, think, and act. We’re here to help them re-learn what it means to live fully, bravely, and with purpose. Together, we can create a future where young people can confront life’s challenges with strength, confidence, and support.
Our Mission
To uplift youth, one life at a time
At The UnLearning Children Foundation, we believe that mental health is as important as physical health, and it’s time for us to start unlearning the stigma around seeking support.
We want to make mental health care accessible to every child in Africa, because we know that by redefining the narrative, we can save lives and bring hope to a generation that needs it more than ever.

Join us in making a difference
We can’t do it alone—together, we can make a real impact. Whether you’re a partner, volunteer, or donor, we’d love to have you on board as we work to unlearn the damaging beliefs that limit our children’s potential and relearn what it means to support them through life’s challenges.
