‘Healing in Harmony On the Move’ tackles both gender and geographical inequities in access to mental health care in South Kivu, DRC
MMM is thrilled to announce they’ve been selected as a grant recipient by the Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT) as part of an initiative to empower women and girls through innovation.
In partnership with Panzi Hospital and Foundation, the 10-month Healing in Harmony On the Move project will expand the reach of MMM’s group therapy program for survivors of conflict-related trauma in the area of Walungu, South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo.
The project will test the integration of two evidence-based innovations on the Healing in Harmony model:
- a gender-transformative approach that responds to the unmet needs of men and boys in Eastern DRC so they can better support women in their community, with a focus on positive masculinity
-
a mobile studio approach to reach underserved communities in rural regions of DRC who have been most often neglected from access to life-changing care
Stay tuned for updates!
