Shamiri Institute's Expansion to Rural Kenya

Shamiri Institute is making youth mental healthcare affordable and accessible to enable African youths to thrive.
Mental health problems are a significant public health challenge: they account for half of the global burden of disease among youth. Stigma, a lack of experts, and limited and expensive treatment makes it particularly difficult for youths living in rural and peri-urban settings to access the care they need.
Anansi, Shamiri's tiered lay-psychotherapy model, has been rigorously tested and been shown to improve mental health by reducing depression and anxiety symptoms. In 2023, Anansi is being implemented in rural areas of Western Kenya.
