Nyali Foundation is a one-stop mental health hub in Sierra Leone that promotes a whole-of-female approach to health, providing free psychosocial support and inclusive welfare benefits.
The highest standard of mental health-care for women of Sierra Leone
At Nyali Foundation, we champion the attainment of the highest standard of mental health, as provided for by the World Health Organization (World Health Organization, 2023) and in Goal 3 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations, 2015). In achieving our objective, for the past eight (8) years, we have been advancing the social determinants of health through welfare interventions, reaching about four thousand (4,000) beneficiaries. The social determinants of mental health, as aforementioned, are the non-medical factors, including access to income, housing, food security, education and affordable health services, among others, influencing negative or positive mental health outcomes (World Health Organization, 2023).
For providing women adequate access to the social and health determinants, and a safe space to voice their opinions for breaking the vicious cycle of mental health stigma.
