Describe your project :
Botswana's mental health crisis, marked by soaring depression rates and limited access to therapy, underscores the urgency for intervention.

Our user-friendly interface allows individuals to create profiles, specify their needs and be matched with trained professionals for personalized support. Secure messaging and video calls facilitate therapy sessions, all at an affordable rate.What sets us apart is our pioneering approach, filling a crucial gap in Botswana's mental health landscape. Notably, our platform prioritizes women's mental health, addressing their disproportionate vulnerability. By empowering individuals to prioritize mental wellbeing, we foster resilience and pave the way for a brighter future.
