The Shibero Psychosocial Health Trust (SPHT) stands as a testament to a steadfast commitment to promoting mental and emotional well-being in Kenya and beyond.
SPHT’s roots trace back to Waymarks Consultancy Ltd., established in 2001, a mental wellness and psychosocial practice established after years of dedicated service in the field.
OUR ROOTS
SPHT’s roots trace back to Waymarks Consultancy Ltd., established in 2001, a mental wellness and psychosocial practice established after years of dedicated service in the field. Waymarks Consultancy, based in Karen, Nairobi, Kenya provided a variety of essential services:
This extensive experience, coupled with Ms. Shibero Akatsa’s deep passion for mental health, spanning over 25 years, laid the foundation for the creation of SPHT.
Motivated by Personal Experience and Community Need
Ms. Shibero Akatsa’s own experience with depression, coupled with the tragic loss of a loved one to this treatable condition, was a catalyst for SPHT’s mission.
Witnessing firsthand the devastating effects of untreated depression within her community, particularly amongst women and families grappling with chronic stress, demanding family dynamics, and cultural pressures, solidified Ms. Akatsa’s resolve to make a difference.
OUR DEDICATION
This unwavering dedication is evident in the thousands of women and families who found solace and support through SPHT's early efforts:
These figures represent a significant contribution to addressing a critical need within the community.
Broadening Our Focus: Mental Health Awareness for Youth
In addition to supporting women and families, SPHT recognized the growing need amongst underserved youth communities.
