Why We Walk
For millions of people around the world, conflict and displacement do not end when they reach safety.
Children carry the effects of what they have experienced. Families rebuild after losing homes and communities. Refugees face uncertainty, loss and trauma as they begin again.
Mental health is often overlooked in the midst of these enormous needs, but healing matters.
At Global Mental Health Alliance, we believe that people affected by conflict deserve more than survival. They deserve the opportunity to heal, rebuild and hope again.
Through our work in Uganda, we provide culturally sensitive, Christ-centered psychosocial support to refugees and conflict-affected communities, equipping individuals, families, churches and local leaders with tools for healing and resilience.
HOPE WALK gives you the opportunity to be a part of this vital work.
