Pamoja Afya Bora, meaning “Better Wellbeing Together”, is Lady Fatemah Trust’s overarching mental health framework for Zanzibar. Many communities lack access to culturally appropriate mental health support, leaving stigma and silence unchallenged. Since 2023, working in partnership with the Ministry of Health, we’ve trained local facilitators to deliver mental health education across Unguja and Pemba — reaching even the most remote communities. Our locally-led approach works through collaborations with community groups, schools, health facilities, workplaces, faith settings and other local organisations.
