Our Vision

We are building a future that nurtures young people's wellbeing.

01Who We Are

WILCAH is a registered grassroots women and youth-led NGO based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

WILCAH exists to promote wellbeing among young people in Tanzania through evidence-based, community-driven interventions.

02Why We Exist+

Young people face increasing pressures that affect their wellbeing, learning, and livelihoods. Without early support and the right environments, these challenges often escalate. Prevention, early support and strong ecosystems can change this.

03Our Approach+

Community ownership and meaningful youth engagement are the foundation of our work. We strengthen mental health systems by combining:

  • Evidence-informed strategies grounded in lived experience
  • Youth leadership and community ownership embedded across all interventions
  • Multi-level partnerships that align community action with institutional and policy change to build mental health ecosystems that are accessible, relevant, and sustainable.
