We’re excited to share the remarkable progress from the first phase of our US OVER ME project bringing mental health and psychosocial support directly into schools.
From January to June 2025, the Kipawa Dreams Initiative, in partnership with Esther Therapy Centre, Ndoto in Action, and the Manyire and Mlangarini primary schools, successfully
implemented a mental health project that impacted a total of 740 students in rural Arusha.

What We Did:

  • Group & Individual Counseling Sessions.
  • Thematic Lessons on self-esteem, peer pressure, and emotional awareness.
  • Play Therapy & Sports as tools for emotional expression.
  • Teacher Support & Training on mental health response.
  • A joyful Therapeutic Bonanza, uniting both schools for healing through football, art, and
    music.

What We Achieved

Students are now more expressive, confident, and socially connected. Teachers are empowered as emotional first responders. Mental health is becoming a shared community responsibility

  • Increased student confidence and emotional expression.
  • Teachers report positive behavioral changes in classrooms.
  • Greater community awareness and involvement in children’s well-being.
  • Stronger school environments as safe spaces for healing.

“Mental health isn’t just treated, it’s celebrated. And healing can be joyful when done together.”
With your continued support, we’re working to expand our reach, deepen our impact, and ensure no child is left behind emotionally.
