Empowering Kenya's youth through mental health advocacy

To end the stigma of mental illness and help those affected with mental illnesses to come out in the open and seek help leading to the high reduction rate of suicide among the youth.

Our Vision

Vijanabora envisions a Kenya where mental health is prioritized, destigmatized, and accessible to all youth regardless of their socioeconomic background. We aim to create a society where young people feel empowered to speak openly about mental health challenges and seek the support they need without fear of judgment or discrimination.

Through our advocacy, education, and support programs, we strive to significantly reduce youth suicide rates and improve overall mental wellbeing among Kenya's youth population and beyond in Africa.
