Our Track Record

Help change the mental health narrative in Kenya

Project AKILI has been operational for four years now, and we are expanding to serve young people's mental health needs. We connect people to mental health care, publish articles on mental illnesses on a monthly basis, and use social media and the web to reach a wider audience. Our work is necessary – especially during these times of COVID – and we can't wait to grow and change the narrative on mental health together.
