KIMCARE's mission is to promote mental well-being, provide support to those in need, and create a society where mental health is understood, valued, and accessible to all.
We strive to reduce stigma, increase awareness, and improve access to mental health resources through education, advocacy, and direct support services.
Our Vision
What we aspire to achieve.
A world where everyone has access to mental health resources and support, free from stigma and discrimination.
We envision communities where mental health is prioritized, where individuals feel empowered to seek help, and where support systems are readily available to all who need them.
Our Story
The journey that brought us to where we are today.
KIMCARE was founded in 2024 by a group of mental health professionals and advocates who recognized the growing need for accessible mental health services in Kenya. Our founders witnessed firsthand the challenges many people face when dealing with mental health issues, including limited resources, social stigma, and lack of community support.
Beginning as a small community initiative, KIMCARE has grown into a recognized non-profit organization that serves thousands of individuals each year. Our journey has been driven by a commitment to creating positive change and building a supportive community around mental health.
Today, we continue to expand our programs and services, reaching more people and making a greater impact in promoting mental wellness and supporting those in need.
