Overview
Charity Run for Mental and Physical Health!!!
Mental health situations continue to affect young people's lives and economies in our community today. In Kenya, where one person in every ten has a mental health condition, access to effective medical help remains an uphill task due to lack of capacity or widespread stigma.
World Health Organization urges governments and private institutions to invest resources in mental health. In its 2022 “World Mental Health Report: Transforming Mental Health for All,” WHO reminds governments of three main reasons for investing in mental health; public health, human rights and socio-economic development.
To alleviate the situations, Youth Initiative Development Programme team are planning to host a Charity Run for Mental and Physical Health on 7th October 2023,in Nairobi,Kenya to mobilize resources to scale up mental and physical health services and awareness to reach out to the disadvantaged.
