Mental health and wellness challenges remain widely misunderstood and under-treated in Kenyan communities and across Africa. Stigma, limited access to care, and a lack of mental health awareness leave millions without the support they need.
As the suicide, depression, anxiety, and addiction rates keep rising; the need for relatable education, prevention programs, and accessible sustainable care has never been greater.
What we do
Mental health & wellness education
Stigma is still widespread in many Kenyan communities. We help people understand, prevent, and heal the root causes of mental issues through: relatable awareness campaigns, storytelling, and the creative arts (films, poetry, theatre, music).
Healing for All therapy program
This program offers sponsored / funded therapy sessions to girls, children, and young women who’ve experienced deep trauma, GBV, abuse, and other severe psychological issues to support their healing journey.
School wellness program
Adolescent mental health is a growing crisis. We support high school students with the knowledge and practices to manage their mental wellbeing – through our 10 session preventative mental health and wellness program.
Community wellness programs
This program leverages sports, creative arts, and play to deliver mental health and wellness support to youth and children in underserved communities. It hosts the “sports for mental health” and “creative arts for mental health” initiatives.
How we work
-
Prevention first
Our education campaigns, school programs, and community programs are focused on prevention - introducing mental health support before challenges escalate into crisis.
-
Thoughtful execution and specialization
We specialize in mental health and wellness. All our solutions are informed by the cultures, lived experiences, and realities of the communities we are part of - while also embracing global best practices.
-
Community ownership
We co-create and implement programs in collaboration with the locals - gaining deep community trust and ownership. With this model, we create spaces where individuals, families, schools, and communities can learn, connect, heal, and grow together.
-
Data & sustainability
Our goal is always to create sustainable solutions - we continuously use research, data, and evident outcomes to design & improve our solutions so that they create lasting impact, are adaptable, and scalable.
