Support to the mental health center

Nation: Togo

Field of action: Health

Referent: Grégoire Ahongbonon

CODE: AS 400

Aim

After the meeting, on the 23rd of May in 2016, with Mr Gregoire Ahongbonon, founder of numerous mental health centers in Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast, we are supporting the mental health center that  he created in Togo. Mental illness terrorizes Africans and who suffers from it are often chained, rejected, marginalized and even left to die. They are precisely the most rejected category of the population.

Beneficiaries

Around 200 guests with various types of mental distress, some of them need use of medicines and therapeutic support. Who suffers from more serious distress is hospitalized and assisted.
