we opperate in mwihoko githurai and most of the people here are living in poverty ,illiteracy and unemployment so it becomes very difficult for people who have epilepsy and mental health to get help
counselling program this program enables the person living with epilepsy to open his heart out since most of them are very stressful and as stress is the major causes of convulsions they feel good when they are talked to it opens them so much
