Today, SDI Kenya and Muungano wa Wanavijiji Federation leaders graduated with certificates in Counselling and Psychology. The journey was tough, but we made it through!
In informal settlements, mental health challenges such as trauma from forced evictions, financial stress, limited access to support services, and the negative effects of climate change deeply affect communities.
This milestone equips us to address these issues more effectively. Mental health is a cornerstone of creating resilient and inclusive cities, and we reaffirm our commitment to supporting communities every step of the way.
