We are proud to join other stakeholders at the Technical University of Mombasa - TUM in marking World Mental Health Day 2026 and supporting the facilitation of activities that put students’ mental wellbeing at the centre. 💚

From yoga and meditation to Mind Skills, dance therapy and art therapy, students are gaining valuable knowledge and practical tools to manage stress, understand their emotions, build resilience and support one another.

A healthy mind creates a stronger foundation for learning, growth and success. Together with our partners and stakeholders, we are creating safe and supportive spaces where every student can learn, heal and thrive. 🌱✨

Grief deserves a safe space.

As part of , we had the opportunity to facilitate a session on grief at the Technical University of Mombasa - TUM , creating a space where young people could feel seen, heard and supported.

Drawing from lived experiences, we explored grief as a natural response to loss and discussed the commonly recognized stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. We also looked at how grief can affect us emotionally, mentally, physically and behaviourally, while emphasizing that everyone experiences grief differently and that there is no single timeline for healing.

Students were encouraged to reflect on their own experiences and learned healthy ways of coping, including talking to trusted people, expressing emotions, maintaining healthy routines and seeking professional support when needed. Most importantly, the session helped students gain a deeper understanding of grief, feel more comfortable speaking about their emotions without judgment, recognize the importance of supportive relationships, and understand why seeking help early can make a difference.

When we create spaces where young people can speak openly, listen to one another and seek support, we create communities where healing and resilience can thrive.

Mental health matters in the workplace. 💚

Too often, employees experience stress, burnout, and emotional strain without knowing where to turn for confidential and accessible support. Gumzo Care is changing this by bringing mental health support closer to employees through virtual therapy, a toll-free line, USSD services, mental health check-ins, wellness programs, and a Mobile Therapy Unit.

Our goal is to help create workplaces where seeking support is encouraged, wellbeing is prioritized, and people don't have to struggle in silence. Together, we can build healthier workplaces and stronger communities. Because when workplaces heal, communities heal.

What happens after the screenshot? After the threats arrive? After the account is hacked and the harassment becomes relentless?

TFGBV does not simply disappear when the screen closes. Survivors may be left carrying anxiety, shame, isolation and fear and they deserve support that goes beyond being told to “just block them.”

Through GARA, we are placing survivor voices, mental wellbeing and lived experiences at the center of conversations on technology-facilitated gender-based violence.

Because safer digital spaces are not only about technology. They are about human rights, mental health, justice, accountability and policies that respond to the realities of digital violence.

The question is not simply, “How do we make the internet safer?” It is: How do we make sure people are safe when violence follows them into the digital world?

What happens online can have a real impact on how we feel, cope and connect.

Through GARA, survivors and young people are learning about Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV), how it can affect mental wellbeing, and its connection to distress and su***de prevention. As a survivor-led organization, we continue to create safe spaces where participants can understand online harm, learn about digital safety, privacy, consent and responsible online behavior, and know when and where to seek support.

The goal is not to build digital skills, but also to strengthen resilience, encourage empathy and help young people navigate online spaces with greater awareness, safety and confidence.

Sometimes, prevention begins with a conversation. Let’s engage young people in honest conversations about su***de, mental health, and the importance of understanding what we and those around us may be feeling. When young people have safe spaces to speak openly, share their struggles, listen to one another, and seek support without fear of judgment, they are better able to connect with the help they need.

Let’s keep creating environments where young people feel safe to speak, free to be heard, and supported when things become difficult. 🫂Talk. Listen. Understand. Support. Together, we can strengthen su***de prevention.

Every Conversation Can Make a Difference. Every Life Matters.
Our students took part in Recognizing Distress & Su***de Prevention Basics, where they were introduced to su***de awareness and explored the importance of recognizing signs of serious distress, responding with empathy, and knowing when and where to seek help.

Through these sessions, students gained a better understanding of su***de prevention and developed greater confidence in recognizing when a friend or peer may be struggling. They learned the importance of speaking up, seeking support early, and connecting individuals to appropriate support services.

Beyond awareness, the sessions created opportunities for open and safe conversations about mental health, encouraged peer support, and reminded students that asking for help is an important step toward safety, healing, and wellbeing.

We believe that mental health education can help create supportive environments where young people feel heard, valued, and encouraged to seek help when they need it. Together, let's continue breaking the silence, building compassion, and promoting a culture of care.

Mentorship is more than sharing what we know ,it is walking alongside someone as they discover who they can become. 🌱

We were delighted to be part of the 2026 Annual Mentors Forum organized by Hatua Network, which brought together mentors and tertiary scholars for a day filled with fun, networking, reflection and meaningful conversations.

The conversations went beyond careers and professional growth, exploring the importance of integrity, accountability, responsibility and the values that shape how we contribute to our communities and workplaces.

For us, mentorship is intentional. When young people have access to guidance, encouragement, honest conversations and positive role models, they are better equipped to navigate their journeys, unlock their potential and make meaningful contributions to society.

It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, build new connections, learn from one another and reaffirm our shared commitment to creating pathways for young people to learn, grow and thrive. 💚

From ideas to opportunities

Through GARA, survivors and young people are gaining practical digital skills from onboarding and showcasing their products online, to building their digital presence, exploring content creation and influencing, and learning how to create and manage websites.

But it’s more than just technology. Participants are also building digital resilience, self-awareness, confidence and healthy digital habits that can help them navigate online spaces safely and make informed choices.

Resilience doesn’t mean pretending everything is okay. 💜

It means learning what helps you through difficult moments. Our young people explored breathing, grounding and relaxation techniques as practical ways to pause, calm the mind, manage stress and reconnect with what they need.

Because asking for support is also a strength. 💜
