Recovery is strengthened when people have a community they can grow with.

Our peer educators under the Basic Needs Model Project supported by CBM UK held a progress monitoring session with the Lakeside Mental Disability Support Group, bringing together eight members to review the group's progress, assess their Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA) activities, and identify areas requiring additional support.

While the group has demonstrated steady improvement in participation, group functioning, and overall wellbeing through mutual support, members also identified the need for sessions on anger management and cognitive reframing to strengthen communication, improve conflict resolution, and foster greater group cohesion.

Every household reached is another opportunity to prevent malaria before it becomes life-threatening.

Our field officers under the Community Case Management of Malaria project convened a Quarterly Data Review Meeting with Community Health Promoters (CHPs) from Virhembe A & B, linked to Kakamega Forest Dispensary in Shinyalu Sub-County, to strengthen documentation, household follow-ups, malaria in pregnancy response, referrals, and eCHIS reporting.

Despite challenges including commodity stock-outs and eCHIS synchronization, the review reinforced the commitment of CHPs to improving community-based malaria services and identified practical actions to strengthen timely referrals, data quality, and household coverage.

A stronger civil society begins with stronger accountability.

We're participating in the National Federation Establishment Workshop at Swiss-Belhotel International, Nairobi, organized by Basic Needs Basic Rights Kenya. This is a significant step towards operationalizing the self-regulation provisions of the Public Benefit Organizations (PBO) Act, 2013.

Bringing together Public Benefit Organizations from across Kenya, the workshop is laying the foundation for a federation that will promote accountability, professionalism, collaboration, and adherence to shared standards.

For organizations working in mental health, this presents an opportunity to strengthen coordination, improve the quality and sustainability of community-based interventions, and amplify our collective voice in advancing equitable, people-centred mental health care. Stronger institutions create stronger outcomes—and ultimately, better lives for the communities we serve.

Learning together is how we create lasting change.

As we conclude a cross-learning forum with partners supported by CBM Global in Kenya, we're reflecting on lessons, innovations, and practical strategies to strengthen our impact in mental health and disability inclusion.

As an implementing partner of the Basic Needs Model and Bridge Beyond Barriers projects, we're reaffirming our commitment to turning shared learning into stronger, more inclusive, and community-driven solutions.

Together, we learn. Together, we improve. Together, we transform lives.

We've officially established the Alliance for Mental Health Learning and Innovation (AMHeLI).

Day 2 at Waridi Paradise Hotel & Suites marked a major milestone as Heraf Kenya, Basic Needs Basic Rights Kenya, Physicians for Human Rights, and Tinada Youth Action Africa, with support from Comic Relief, officially established the Alliance for Mental Health Learning and Innovation (AMHeLI).

This is a national multi-stakeholder platform that will convene diverse partners to strengthen mental health systems through learning, research, innovation, knowledge sharing, evidence-informed policy, and meaningful lived experience engagement.

Partners reviewed and adopted the Alliance's vision, mission, strategic pillars, governance structure, and Technical Working Groups, developed a roadmap for operationalisation, and elected the inaugural leadership.

Together, we're building a collaborative platform where learning, evidence, innovation, partnerships, and lived experience drive equitable, people-centred mental health systems in Kenya.

Quality malaria services depend on continuous learning and strong community health systems.

Our field officers under the Community Case Management of Malaria project convened a Quarterly Integrated CHU Data Review Meeting with CHPs from Gesoni CHU, linked to Nyaore Dispensary in Kitutu Chache South, Kisii County, to strengthen malaria case management, reporting, household follow-ups, referrals, and malaria response in pregnancy.

Despite challenges such as stock-outs of malaria commodities, the meeting reinforced CHPs' commitment to improving service quality and identified practical actions to sustain high-quality community-based malaria care.

One of the highlights of was meeting with Laura from Comic Relief, whose support powers both the IMARISHA Mental Health Integrated Initiative Scale-up and the Collective Learning Project.

It was a valuable opportunity to reflect on the progress we've made together, share lessons from our work with communities, and explore the next steps toward expanding locally led, community-driven impact.

We're grateful for partners who invest not only in projects, but in learning, collaboration, and lasting systems change.

Strong community malaria services begin with well-supported Community Health Promoters (CHPs)

Our field officers under the Community Case Management of Malaria Project convened a Quarterly Data Review Meeting with CHPs from Nzoia A & B, linked to Nzoia Matete Dispensary in Lugari, Kakamega County, to strengthen reporting, household follow-ups, referrals, and malaria response in pregnancy.

Despite existing health system gaps, the review reaffirmed the commitment of CHPs to delivering quality community-based malaria services and identified practical actions to improve access to timely care for every household.

Collective advocacy is essential to achieving lasting mental health policy reform in Kenya.

We're in Nairobi at Waridi Paradise Hotel & Suites, bringing together partners implementing the Strengthening Collective Advocacy and Policy Engagement for Improved Mental Health Care in Kenya project, supported by Comic Relief, to lay the foundation for the National Mental Health Alliance.

Over the next two days, partners will review and approve the Alliance's founding documents, agree on its governance structure, develop a roadmap for operationalisation, and elect its inaugural leadership.

By building a coordinated platform for advocacy, we're strengthening the collective voice of civil society to influence policies, improve accountability, and advance access to quality, rights-based mental health care for everyone in Kenya.
