Millennium Fellowship Project: The Healing Garden
The Healing Project primarily targets Rwandan youth (15–30 years), especially students, who face high levels of undiagnosed mental-health challenges due to stigma, low awareness, and lack of access and lacking enough knowledge about mental health awareness. Secondary audiences include individuals showing early symptoms,as well as parents, teachers, community leaders, and NGOs who live day to day with youth to support general understanding of the mental health awareness and support affected individuals. Tertiary audiences include mental-health professionals who can support, educate, and collaborate.
