Welcome to Mikateko Wellness Foundation
Welcome to Mikateko Wellness Foundation, and thank you for taking a moment to get to know us. Mikateko, meaning “blessings,” was born out of a deep passion to walk alongside children and youth navigating life’s emotional challenges, especially where access to mental health support is limited or non-existent. We believe every learner deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported, and that mental wellness is not a luxury, but a right.
Our Mission
Mikateko Wellness Foundation exists to promote mental wellbeing and support the emotional and holistic development of learners in under-resourced government schools by providing free, accessible, trauma-informed counselling services and educational assessments. Through this support, we empower learners with self-awareness, confidence, and direction to make informed academic and career decisions.
Our Goal
Our goal is to close the mental health support gap for learners by creating a safe, consistent, and accessible support system in schools. We aim to help learners heal, grow, and thrive emotionally, socially, and academically, while building more resilient communities one learner at a time.
