Programs

The debilitating effects of depression, especially on youth and women, demand urgent action. We’re committed to transforming African mental health by empowering communities to lead the charge against depression and related challenges. Our initiatives provide the tools and support needed for lasting change.

1. Empowering Educators, Parents, and Caregivers to Combat Depression

Our signature program targets educators, parents, and caregivers in underserved communities, equipping them with practical tools to foster mental well-being and resilience. 

In Africa, up to 40.8% of adolescents experience emotional and behavioural problems, with trauma, depression, and anxiety being alarmingly common. Left unaddressed, these issues carry through adolescence into youth and adulthood, contributing to high suicide rates.

2. EmpowerHer: To Heal from Abuse and Overcome Depression

We have been supporting women since 2018 by providing depression awareness, healing, and self-care skills. The program builds thriving support groups led by trained community leaders. Through this initiative, we create a lasting impact within families and communities.
