Our Programme

Mental Health and Psychosocial Support

Survivors of conflict and other forms of traumatic situations are at higher risk for psychological distress and mental health conditions due to continued and overwhelming chaos and uncertainty, as well as the enormity of their loss that often includes homes, community, loved ones, and livelihoods. 

We prioritize prevention and treatment of mental health and psychosocial needs in humanitarian crises and in other circumstances leading to physical and psychological crisis. Our trained team of professionals is able to respond to these immediate needs.

We do this by

  • Mapping and assessing needs and services, coordinating activities of different actors and promoting best practices and guidelines.
  • Undertake initiatives to bring MHPSS care to survivors and victims of varied crisis and internally diaplaced pulations living in emergency conditions.
  • Case management and identify, support and protect those who are vulnerable and promoting stability and recovery.
  • Working with traditional community-based support groups and key people who can offer basic psychosocial support within the community.
  • Linking existing community support groups with local trained doctors and nurses to strengthen and expand care

Humanitarian Action

We provide assistance to vulnerable people affected by conflicts and disasters and source support from international donors to provide help to vulnerable populations and survivors of crises.

We work closely with local and international partners that share our values and commitment to helping vulnerable impecunious people. Most of the assistance we deliver in humanitarian crises is provided through our network members and partners.

In conflict and disaster situations, we respond with a range of activities:

  • We provide cash and essential relief to meet urgent basic needs including food, shelter and hygiene items. Wherever possible we enable the people we support to decide for themselves what they need by providing assistance in the form of cash transfers
  • We help to ensure affected people have the healthcare they need. This may involve supporting local health facilities and systems with drugs and equipment to treat the non-communicable diseases that affect so many people. We provide training for staff in government and NGO-run health facilities, and we advise and support health providers with policy advice and support on healthcare for affected people.
  • We help to ensure affected people have the nutrition assistance they need and that general food distributions are accessible for affected people. We support vulnerable people to sustain their livelihoods so they have an income on which to survive. We do this by providing work opportunities and access to micro-credit opportunities, as well as direct cash transfers.
  • We help to ensure protection of older affected people's lives, security and dignity by identifying the most vulnerable, facilitating their access to essential assistance and care, and advocating for their rights
