Finemind is transforming the way mental health care is delivered in East Africa by making it part of everyday, trusted care. Instead of building new clinics or introducing parallel systems, we work within existing public health structures to embed evidence-based mental health services into routine care. We train frontline health workers and peer counselors to screen, support, and refer individuals using tools like Interpersonal Counseling and WHO-endorsed Problem Management Plus (PM+). Our model is low-cost, scalable, and proven with clients averaging a 5.5-point reduction in depression scores and a high satisfaction rating at discharge.

At a time when mental health needs are rising but services remain scarce, Finemind is proving that meaningful support can be delivered by community members with the right tools and supervision. We’ve already provided more than 22,000 counseling sessions and are scaling our impact in refugee settlements and new districts across Uganda. Every dollar you give helps us reach more people with life-changing care, while strengthening public health systems for the long term.
Support Finemind today and help build a future where mental health is not a luxury, but part of the care people already trust and receive.
