Invest in stronger mental health systems in Tanzania and across Africa.
Your support enables the Michelle Chapa Foundation to advance mental health systems by strengthening primary and community healthcare, influencing policy reform and promoting rights- based approaches to care.
We work to ensure mental health is no longer inaccessible, underfunded or overlooked… but integrated into health systems and available to all.
Across Africa, mental health systems remain under- resourced, centralized and difficult to access. Despite growing evidence on effective interventions, many people are still unable to receive timely, appropriate care. Your contribution helps bridge this gap, by supporting efforts that translate evidence into action, strengthen healthcare systems and promote inclusive, community- based care.
Policy and system reform: Supporting engagement with governments and institutions to strengthen mental health policies and integration into primary healthcare.
Capacity strengthening: Training healthcare providers and community health workers to deliver accessible, person- centered mental health care.
Community engagement: Promoting early help seeking, reducing stigma and ensuring lived experience informs programs and policy.
Evidence to action: Developing policy briefs, knowledge products and stakeholder dialogues that inform decision- making.
We welcome support from individuals, institutions and partners committed to strengthening mental health systems and expanding access to care in Tanzania and across Africa.
The Michelle Chapa Foundation is a mental health systems and policy organization working to strengthen primary and community healthcare, advance rights- based approaches and improve access to mental health care in Tanzania and across Africa.
