Mental Health Day Centre fosters the reinsertion for those living with mental disorders. Moreover, it provides care and support to children and adults living with a mental condition.
In Africa, the cultural believes reject mental disorders. Therefore, mentally ill people often suffer from social exclusion and stigma.
However, at Benito Menni Day Centre we provide support and assistance to children and young adults with mental dissabilities. Furthermore, we foster their personal development involving them in classes and ongoing projects.
