In Uganda’s slums and forgotten corners, children grow up carrying more than backpacks—they carry invisible wounds. The loss of parents, violence, hunger, and abandonment are not just events—they leave lasting scars on the mind.
Yet in most of these communities, mental health remains unspoken, untreated, and unseen.
At Tez ChildFund Africa, we believe that healing must start from the inside. Because no child should have to carry their pain alone.
The Struggles We Don’t Always See
Too many of the youth we meet suffer in silence from:
-
Depression and anxiety rooted in trauma
-
Low self-esteem caused by poverty and neglect
-
A lack of emotional support or safe spaces to talk
Without help, this emotional weight often leads to school dropouts, drug abuse, or worse—loss of hope and even life.
Our Response: Safe Spaces. Stronger Minds.
We’re creating healing environments where youth can express themselves, connect, and begin to rebuild:
-
Art therapy sessions using painting, poetry, dance, and music
-
Peer-led support circles that create trust and community
-
Mentorship programs to build confidence and direction
-
Mindfulness and spiritual sessions for inner peace and grounding
These tools don’t require expensive clinics—they require compassion, creativity, and consistent care.
Why This Matters to Donors
Mental health is not a luxury. It’s a lifeline.
When a child feels safe, seen, and supported, everything changes—they begin to dream again, focus in school, and make better choices.
Your donation can help us:
-
Train community mentors and volunteer counselors
-
Provide art supplies and materials for therapy
-
Organize mental wellness workshops in slum schools and rescue homes
Help Us Heal More Young Minds
You can give a young person more than relief—you can give them release.
Let’s build a future where mental wellness is a right, not a privilege.
