Bridging movement & mental health across Africa.
Our story, our mission, and the partners who make it possible.
Run for Mental Health Africa was founded to bridge the critical gap between physical activity and mental health across the African continent.
We recognized that movement has a unique power to connect people, reduce stigma and create safe spaces for conversations that matter. By combining the universal language of sport with evidence-based mental health advocacy, RMHA is building a movement that reaches across communities, cultures and borders.
We do not replace professional or clinical mental health services.
To build Africa's largest community-powered mental wellness movement where mental health is prioritized, stigma is eliminated and every individual has access to sustainable support systems.
