Our story
Founded by counsellors, educators, and community advocates, Angaza Wellness Foundation began as a movement to bring mental health conversations out of the shadows in Kenya. The word “Angaza” means “to shine” or “to illuminate” — and that is exactly what we strive to do for minds, hearts, and futures.
We believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate mental health support regardless of their background. To date, Angaza has directly impacted over 100,000 people through counselling, safe spaces, our flagship EWIP program, advocacy campaigns, and structured mentorship for young people.
Every session, circle, and mentorship conversation is another step in Doing Life Together — walking with our people toward healing, growth, and hope.
