About EACMHS

A Kenyan charity, rooted in community.

The East Africa Centre for Mental Health Services (EACMHS) was founded in 2019 by a small group of clinicians and recovering gamblers who saw a gap no one else was filling.

Today we’re a registered Kenyan charity providing free counselling, peer support and education — funded by donations, grants and the trust of the families we walk alongside.
