We divided our objects into three, and we want to take it one at a time:
-
We will create awareness of mental ill health
-
We will provide physical needs to mentally unwell people and their care givers
-
We will provide shelter and treatment to the mentally unwell patients in Liberia.
ACTIVITIES: We are creating awareness of mental ill health in the west African community (especially in Liberia and Ivory Coast) We have visited three counties in Liberia (Montserrado, Grand Bassa and Nimba) and had meetings with market women to educate them on the existence of drug induced psychosis, depression and organic psychosis. Our campaign is ongoing, and continues until 31/12/2025.
