Stand Out 4 Mental Health

13/05/2026

At the heart of community wellness is connection, and we’re proud to be part of The Alliance Medical Camp (AMD’26) happening on 16th May at Thogoto Roundabout (near Southern Bypass).

As part of our CSR commitment, we’ll be contributing through expressive art therapy and peer support spaces, creating safe, creative environments where individuals, especially young people can process emotions, build resilience, and find community.

This initiative goes beyond clinical care. Alongside essential services like medical consultations, dental care, mental health support, eye check-ups, and nutrition counseling, we’re ensuring that mental and emotional well-being are given equal priority.

We’re honored to collaborate with incredible partners making this possible, including Bush Medics, Gem Smiles Foundation, Optica, P.C.E.A Kikuyu Hospital, MSI Reproductive Choices, The Lekim Foundation, Arrow Dental, Daraja Africa, Ember, Amsun, and Remake, among others.

If you’re within or around the community, come through this is a space for care, healing, and holistic wellness.

Local Fundraising (LFR) Coaching Session 1:

Last week, we participated in a focused Local Fundraising coaching and team reflection session centered on strengthening our foundation for sustainable growth. This has been organized by Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) and Change the Game Academy

Here are a few key takeaways that stood out:

✅ Clarity comes before fundraising

Before asking for support, organizations must be clear on who they are, what they are building, and why it matters. Vision sets the dream. Mission defines the path. Objectives should describe outcomes, not just activities.

✅ Fundraising is a strategy, not an event

Effective local fundraising requires planning, structure, and intention. A sustainable approach balances ambition with sustainability, ensuring programs can be launched and sustained over time.

✅ Community trust is the real currency

People give when they feel connected and when impact is visible. Building relationships, engaging communities, and showing progress are critical to long-term support ~ Fundraising is friendraising

✅ Budgets really matter

There must be clarity on program costs and fundraising costs. Knowing the return on effort and investment helps ensure fundraising activities actually move the mission forward.

✅ Think short-term, mid-term, and long-term

A phased approach helps organizations stay focused today while intentionally building for the next 3–5 years.

✅ Local fundraising is a team effort

Alignment, shared ownership, and internal planning are just as important as donor outreach. Sustainable revenue models are built together, not in isolation.

This session reaffirmed a simple truth:

Sustainable impact starts with strong planning, honest reflection, and a community-centered mindset.

• People give because they feel connected and because they see impact.

• Community is not an audience, not a spectator in development. It an partner. Co-create initiatives with them.

We are learning that local fundraising is less about asking and more about aligning, aligning purpose, people, and proof of impact.

As we continue building, we are focusing on strengthening our foundation, refining our strategy, and designing a fundraising approach that reflects both our mission and the community we serve.

Looking forward to implementing lessons from this learning model.
