Our Mission

Deliver quality and accessible mental health services to children and young people on a large scale. 

Our Vision

Build a bright and healthy future for children and young people.

We are a non-profit organization that uses technology to bring the right information and support for the mental health of children and young people.

Why do we do this?

We know how hard it is to find the right information and support at the right time. More than 70% of our team have lived or shared experience of mental health conditions.

We founded Mindsum because we felt there’s a need for an all-in-one solution.

We want to make mental healthcare more accessible to children, young people, and their parents.

How do we do it?

We do this by providing the right information and giving access to the right therapists, as well as dedicating all our profits towards funding therapy for those who cannot afford to pay.

The people we support love to take part in art activities of all sorts and we regularly go through lots of supplies. It would be great if you could support us in purchasing some extra equipment; things like paint, pens, pencils, easels, canvses, clay, tools etc. 

This year AFK celebrates 30 years of providing special equipment, education and employment support for disabled children and young people. Can you donate to help fund travel, party food and activitirs on the day (26th June)

Our youth club runs twice a week and aims to involve young people in new and interesting activities. It could be learning how to cook a meal, create fun stencil art or something completely different. Your wish will help us provide these activities to lots of young people that attend our youth club each week.

Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees in Africa (1.4 million), and 58% of them are children under 18 years old. The basic right to education of refugees is often denied. Living in a foreign country fleeing violence and persecution creates an extremely difficult situation for learning. Where education can continue, it is often of poor quality; in Uganda, this is affecting hundreds of thousands of children. The majority of schools do not have the infrastructure to accommodate overcrowded classrooms and the basic needs of children. Overcrowding is the hardest obstacle for teachers and students alike. This makes the situation for both teacher and learner almost impossible. Infrastructure needs to be adequate in order to make schools safer and more accessible, to all children affected by conflict. We aim to provide sufficient space, desk and learning materials to improve primary school children's learning outcomes and secure their academic future toward secondary level.

Windle International empowers people to make lasting change in their own lives, in their communities and in wider society. We do this by creating access to quality education and training across East Africa and the Horn of Africa for refugees, communities affected by conflict, and those who have been marginalised in society. We believe that positive change is achieved, and peaceful societies are created, when the people who have been most affected by conflict are empowered to become change-makers in their communities. In Uganda, we have been recognized Best International Education Humanitarian NGO in the country, in both 2019 and 2020.

During the warmer days, the people we support love to be outside with a variety of activities. We would love to get this portable Badminton set so they can set it up and play with staff and others as a fun activity. 

Community health workers play a vital role in supporting leprosy patients. They can diagnose the disease, train the person in self care and help prevent long term disabilities. 

Somalia has long-standing political instability, armed conflict leading to a sectarian war and environmental stress. 3 million children have been left with no access to education. Retention and continuation are a challenge as institutional education capacity remains weak. The lack of learning materials in schools poses a severe threat as the ratio of materials to learners stands at 1:9.

Windle International empowers people to make lasting change in their own lives, in their communities and in wider society. We do this by creating access to quality education and training across East Africa and the Horn of Africa for refugees, communities affected by conflict, and those who have been marginalised in society. Windle International considers good quality education as a key element in reducing the risk of extremism and establishing peace.  Since 2018, Windle International SOM has supported thousands of children, supplying educational materials, peer-counsellor training, professional development for teachers, mentorship, and re-usable facemasks and COVID-19 preventative information to learners and teachers.
