Health Improvement Project Zanzibar: Developing proven and accessible community-based mental health services in Tanzania
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 153,253 to Health Improvement Project Zanzibar for work in Tanzania, dated 27 September 2017.
Overview
This project aims to significantly improve the mental health care available on Unguja Island in Zanzibar, Tanzania. It will work closely with government healthcare providers to improve the awareness of mental health issues amongst communities and to improve the care available to those suffering from them across the rural populations who currently have very little access to formal mental health care.In doing so, this project will increase the number of mentally ill people accessing care, and also widen the range of treatment options open to them by developing community-based talking and problem-solving support, as well as traditional healthcare interventions.
Programme: Community Mental Health Matters
