BasicNeeds - Building a better world with Mentally Ill People

Africa

We are working to tackle the mental health problems in several African countries.

In Africa we currently have programmes in Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana and Kenya, which are working with mentally ill people to improve their lives.

	Ghana >> Find out about how we’re helping mentally ill people get access to treatment in Northern Ghana and the capital, Accra.
	Kenya >> Our programme in the slum of Kangemi aims to show the demand for community-based mental health services in Nairobi.
	Tanzania >> In Tanzania our two programmes are bringing treatment and livelihoods to the most disadvantaged mentally ill people.
	Uganda >> Read about how our work with Village Health Teams is bringing mental health treatment to isolated communities.
