Mthunzi Minds conducted an integrated environmental and mental health awareness campaign at Mgona Primary School in Lilongwe, engaging with over 300 learners aged 8 to 18. The interactive day blended environmental action with open discussions about emotional wellbeing, stress management, and the importance of seeking psychosocial support.
Supported by the Lilongwe City Council’s Environmental Officer, and our mental health specialists, the students participated in an open forum where they shared how natural surroundings help them feel calm and regulated. To put the discussion into physical action, learners actively participated in planting 300 trees generously donated by C. Steinweg Bridge.
By transforming their school grounds, the students demonstrated a practical understanding of a core Mthunzi Minds principle: that a healthy mind genuinely requires a healthy environment.
