Today, we proudly celebrate the transformation of 60 men and women following our impactful mental health training program.

Just 8 months ago, Nyathuna ward, in Kabete constituency, faced a dire situation with alarming rates of suicides. Stepping in, we provided crucial mental health training to men, women, students, and community leaders. Additionally, we donated a 100-seater tent and chairs to support the community, under the guidance of Canon Perminus of ACK, Kirangari Deaconry. Here, ‘Kanisa Madukani’ was born, a movement that has provided a new ray for men (and a few women) in the ward.

It was the climax of our activities at Nyathuna as we enjoyed mbuzi and listened to their testimonials. We also gave them some take-home package of food.

Join us, Wamuratha Foundation, in commemorating this remarkable journey and our fruitful partnership with the community.
