We are community based organization based in Mombasa County formed to positively engage the communities towards self -sustainability through providing enabling environments such as access to education, training and skills enhancement.
Treat the Mentally Ill Women
Women who suffer from severe Mental Illness undergo harsh realities. Often some of them are sexually assaulted, their rights are constantly violeted and have no defender’s to stand up for them.
As an organization we strive to provide a safe environment for them. Their welfare and hygiene is well taken care of by our dedicated staff.
Along the streets of Mombasa, elderly people are also affected. Some have been suffering from such illness for a very long time most of whom have no one to take care of.
Our organization has established an elderly care for those suffering from mental illness too. Through our project, 12 elderly persons have benefited from rehabilitation while 6 are still in our center. Two of those who fully recovered after a year long treatment were repatriated with family in Kibao Kiche and Chonyi areas having left their homes over 30 years ago
” Working with such an organization has broaden my scope of practicing to addressing diverse mental health challenges. We have cases from different backgrounds, communities & ages. We strive to ensure maximum benefit of counselling”
” My dream is to see a society that is free from stigmatization of persons’ with serious mental illness. One day we shall all wake up to realize that mentally Ill people are also human beings like any other. They need love, care, attention and a family”
