Strategic Partnership Between CALMHAF Nigeria and QAPS UK: Empowering Minds for a Healthier Tomorrow
June 19, 2025 | Enugu, Nigeria & London, UK
We are thrilled to announce a transformative partnership between Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation (CALMHAF), a leading mental health NGO based in Enugu, Nigeria, and Questions Answered Problems Solved (QAPS), an innovative UK-based educational platform. This strategic collaboration unites CALMHAF’s mission to advance mental health advocacy, education, and community empowerment with QAPS’s AI-driven, learner-centric solutions, anchored by its Student Learning Anatomy framework, which addresses the Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Physical, Perceptual, Sensory, and Cultural dimensions of learners. Together, we aim to reduce mental health stigma, enhance educational outcomes, and build resilient communities across Nigeria, paving the way for a mentally healthier and educationally enriched future.
A Shared Vision for Holistic Impact
Founded in 2024 by Reverend Chukwudiebube Nwachukwu, the Founder and Executive Director of CALMHAF, the organization has impacted over 10,563 individuals through free counseling, crisis helplines, awareness campaigns, multi-sport initiatives, women’s health programs, and skill acquisition. A highly qualified professional, Reverend Nwachukwu holds a Level 3 Mental Health Diploma and is a leading voice in mental health advocacy. His extensive credentials include certifications as a Child Psychologist, Grief & Bereavement Counsellor, Depression Counsellor, Emotional Intelligence Life Coach, EMDR and CBT Life Coach, Couple Counsellor, SAMHI Dual Diagnosis Practitioner, Drugs and Addiction Coach, and IOC Sports Administrator. His passion and expertise drive CALMHAF’s impactful work, including the COLI Mental Health Academy (coliacademy.org), accredited by the International Association of Therapists, which advances public awareness, teaching, coaching, skill development, and research to dismantle mental health barriers.
With satellite chapters in 11 Nigerian states, CALMHAF reached flood victims, incarcerated individuals, students with disabilities, and faith communities in 2024. In 2025, we’ve expanded to custodial centers and special education schools, delivering trainings, sports facilities like volleyball courts, and menstrual hygiene resources, building on our commitment to holistic well-being.
QAPS, founded by Ferdinand Agu Jnr, an Education Innovator and Sustainability & Climate Change Consultant at PwC UK, revolutionizes education through AI-driven learning, personalized feedback, and real-world experiential content. Holding dual Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering and Climate Change Management & Finance from Imperial College London, Ferdinand brings a unique blend of technical expertise and social impact vision to QAPS. The platform’s Student Learning Anatomy framework aligns seamlessly with CALMHAF’s holistic approach, enabling tailored educational interventions that enhance mental health and learning outcomes.

Transforming Lives in Nigeria
This partnership addresses Nigeria’s mental health crisis—where one psychiatrist serves 500,000 people (per WHO)—and educational challenges by combining CALMHAF’s holistic approach with QAPS’s innovative framework. By tailoring interventions to the seven learner dimensions, we will create inclusive learning environments that foster mental well-being, reduce negative behaviors like substance abuse, and empower vulnerable groups. Reverend Nwachukwu’s expertise in grief counseling, addiction coaching, and child psychology, paired with Ferdinand Agu’s sustainability and education innovation, ensures our programs are impactful and forward-thinking, building on CALMHAF’s 2024 achievements (e.g., 300+ counseling hours) and 2025 initiatives (e.g., special education programs).
