Mizizi

Program Overview

Mizizi workshops, first launched in 2022, are free, in-person workshops delivered across Kenya that:

• Provide space for emotional healing
• Introduce tools and frameworks to build resilience and strengthen mental well-being
• Create opportunities to connect with others in their community impacted by cancer in their community

Led by AFC Peer Facilitators with lived experience of cancer, these culturally relevant workshops are delivered in local languages to ensure accessibility. Our facilitators receive ongoing training to ensure the highest level of accessible, community-based support.
