About Us
S.A.L.T Africa (Someone Always Listens To You)
Is a dedicated mental health organization based in Zimbabwe, Africa. Our mission is to provide essential support, resources, and empowerment to individuals, families, and communities, ensuring access to quality mental health care across the region.
Established in 2019, S.A.L.T Africa embarked on a transformative journey with the aim of strengthening mental well-being and fostering resilience. Our commitment to compassion and understanding drives our work as we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve. The Story of S.A.L.T Africa began in Chimanimani, where we faced the immense challenges brought by Cyclone Idai. We recognized the urgent need for mental health support in communities grappling with trauma and grief. Responding to this need, we launched our first assignment, offering therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) through a range of innovative modalities.
Understanding the healing potential of nature, we integrated nature therapy for adults and established a nutrition garden at St. Charles Luwanga Mission. Additionally, we initiated a small beekeeping project to generate income and promote self-sufficiency. To address loneliness and anxiety-related symptoms, we taught various crafts to women, equipping them with practical skills and a sense of purpose. The unwavering support of the church at St. Charles Luwanga has been instrumental in our success. They have witnessed the transformative benefits of our initiatives and have become strong advocates within their congregations. Inspired by the impact we were making, a maternal mental health program was born, focused on alleviating perinatal mental health issues, particularly in the aftermath of Cyclone Idai.
Collaborating with the Ministry of Health and Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare, we established perinatal mental health support groups. These safe and nurturing spaces provide women with the opportunity to share their experiences, access crucial support, and find solace during vulnerable times. Our commitment to maternal mental health continues to grow, ensuring that no mother feels alone on her journey.
