Ergavo Mental Health Hospital in Somaliland

The recently constructed Ergavo Mental Health Hospital stands as a beacon of hope for countless individuals and families in Somaliland. This vital facility was built with the generous contributions of local businessmen who recognized the urgent need for a dedicated mental health care center in our community.

Mental health issues have been on the rise, largely attributed to the misuse of khat, a substance commonly used among the local population. In the past, individuals with mental health challenges faced stigma and neglect, often being chained or locked in front of their homes due to the lack of appropriate care facilities. Families endured immense suffering, as there was no place to seek help or relief for their loved ones.

Recognizing this dire situation, we began raising awareness to mobilize resources and encourage the Somali diaspora to contribute to this essential project. African Relief Agency has joined hands with the Mental Health Committee in Ergavo to foster collaboration and strengthen community engagement in addressing mental health needs.

We now appeal to community members, both locally and internationally, to support this endeavor. Your generous donations will ensure that patients at the hospital receive nutritious meals, essential for coping with medication and their overall recovery. Without proper nourishment, medication may not be effective, leaving patients vulnerable and prolonging their struggle.

This is a call to action: help us help those in need. Together, we can provide meals, medication, and care, giving patients and their families hope for a better tomorrow. Your support can make a lasting impact—please donate today.
