Too Many Lives Are Left in the Shadows

Gender-based violence leaves families broken, suicide claims too many young lives before their time, substance abuse traps bright futures in cycles of despair, and youth in conflict with the law are cast aside instead of being reconciled.​ Without intervention, the most vulnerable remain unseen, unsupported, and at risk.

A Culturally Rooted Approach to Healing
​

 ​Phumelela is a non-profit organization registered in the Kingdom of Eswatini and the United Kingdom. Established in 2016, our mission is to provide culturally appropriate mental health services to all citizens of Eswatini without discrimination based on their experiences, gender, religion, race, sexual orientation, or identity.
