Addressing Mental Health Challenges - Kabiru's Story

In this testimonial, Kabiru’s mother opens up about the heartbreak of watching him slip into substance abuse, and the overwhelming helplessness she and her ex-husband faced before finally finding a lifeline. The turning point for Kabiru’s family came through the Farinciki Project. Using a unique, culturally grounded referral model, the project empowers trained community “grandmothers,” peer counselors, and respected local figures to identify individuals in need and connect them with vital mental health care. Because recovery requires more than just clinical intervention, the Farinciki Project goes beyond emotional and psychological support. By also providing essential livelihood assistance, the initiative gives families the practical tools they need to rebuild their stability, confidence, and future. 🔗 Learn more about the Farinciki Project: https://leprosymissionnig.org/what-we... ❤️ Support community-driven mental health: https://leprosymissionnig.org/donate 👉 Subscribe for more inspiring stories of recovery and hope
