The Reality of Mental Health in Kenya
Understanding the scale of the challenge helps us appreciate the importance of every conversation we have.
Daily Suicides
At least 4 people die by suicide every day in Kenya according to KNBS statistics, though many go unreported due to stigma.
Treatment Gap
Over 75% of Kenyans who need mental health care do not have access to it due to cost, stigma, or lack of services.
Affected Population
1 in 4 Kenyans seeking healthcare have a diagnosable mental health condition (Kenya Mental Health Taskforce, 2023).
Psychiatrists Nationwide
Only about 500 psychiatrists serve Kenya's entire population of over 50 million people.
Mental Health Service Coverage Gap
This is the gap we're working to bridge through accessible peer support

The Power of Being Heard
