Mission Statement
Nest is dedicated to promoting mental health and well-being by empowering women, children, families, and individuals within their communities. We strive to lift the yoke of labelling, institutionalization, and stigmatization, fostering understanding, justice, and freedom. Through our community-based programs and the training of Community Health Workers, we aim to strengthen families and individuals, enabling them to cope with crises and remain in their own homes. Our commitment is to create a happier, healthier environment for all, encouraging development in public services and the community.
