In addition to core mental health programmes,
we also provide support to local communities,
staff, residents and families. 

The Helping Hands School in Mbukwa is very close to Amaudo Okopedi. The school provides primary education for 100 local children as well as the children of staff and residents. We cover the costs of teacher salaries and also provide training and resources. 

We are currently piloting a new initiative where we provide selected individuals with microfinance and ongoing mentoring and advice for small local start-up businesses. Our initial priority will be to assist members of our self help groups.
