Why We Exist

Our fathers, partners, brothers, and friends are facing a mental health crisis yet it's rarely talked about.

The Silent Crisis

In Kenya and across Africa, cultural norms teach boys to "be strong" by suppressing emotions. This leads to untreated mental health challenges, strained relationships, substance abuse, and tragically, higher suicide rates among men.

Our Response

We exist to break this cycle by encouraging open dialogue, providing practical support and counseling, and reducing stigma through storytelling, education, and advocacy. We're building a culture of empathy and healing.

Why It Matters Now

Post-COVID realities, economic hardship, unemployment, and rising social pressures have deepened the mental health crisis. Families suffer from unresolved trauma, workplaces lose productivity to burnout, and communities face higher rates of substance abuse, crime, and suicide. We cannot afford to stay silent.
