...but there isn't much dedicated to serving Africa & the African diaspora. Because of this, we're facilitating co-designed fellowships for young people from the diaspora who are passionate about mental health and doing things differently. Fellowships under this program are highly individualized, multi-impact experiences - no two fellowships are the same. Fellowship projects are typically low-cost, multi-impact & agile.

From depression and suicidality to food and housing insecurity, teen and young moms across Kenya are navigating a complex set of challenges on a daily basis. The Bright Star Initiative is a strengths-based program that provides basic services like food, clothes & hair hygiene and mental health support. Designed using community-cooperation methods, this program grows stronger by the day through word-of-mouth and is a great example of micro-budget, multi-impact program designed & implemented by the local community.
