Barnahus centers in Ukraine provide critical trauma-informed support for children who have experienced violence. Recently, staff attended specialized trainings on addressing child sexual abuse and practicing self-care while working with trauma cases. These sessions equip staff with essential skills to help children heal without re-traumatization and to maintain their own well-being. Together, we’re building a safer, more compassionate system for every child.

Through the Inua Afya ya Mama project in Kenya—supported by and in partnership with Nairobi City County—we're working to integrate mental health into routine maternal care, ensuring women get the support they need, when they need it.

Through the Inua Afya ya Mama Project in Kenya, we’re integrating mental health into routine care to ensure mothers receive the support they need during and after pregnancy.

Last month, we resumed our grassroots engagement in Mukuru Kwa Reuben, where women came together to share their challenges and find solutions with the help of our dedicated Community Health Volunteers. These conversations are breaking down stigma, improving mental health awareness, and creating a stronger support system for mothers.

Together, we’re transforming perinatal mental health care—one conversation at a time.
