Welcome to MentalEd Rwanda

MentalEd Rwanda is dedicated to empowering students in rural schools by providing free mental health services. Our mission is to break the stigma and ignorance surrounding mental health, offering vital support and education to the youth who need it most. This initiative exists to save the lives of Rwandan youth, ensuring they have access to care, understanding, and resources—all at zero cost. Together, we are fostering a future where mental health is prioritized and no young person is left behind.

Our story

MentalEd Rwanda was born from a deep realization — many young students in Rwanda’s rural schools were silently struggling with mental health challenges, often with no support system to turn to. This inspiring initiative is the brainchild of Yannick Cyusa, a determined young changemaker and student. Yannick’s vision emerged from a strong desire to shed light on the hidden battles faced by these students and to create a platform where mental health support becomes accessible and stigma-free. Today, MentalEd Rwanda stands as a beacon of hope, fostering awareness, understanding, and resources for mental well-being in communities that need it most.

Breaking Barriers: Supporting Teens in Releasing Their Problems

An initiative rooted in compassion and understanding, we are here to help teens break free from the barriers holding them back. Life as a teenager can often feel overwhelming, with emotions, pressures, and challenges piling up. Our mission is to provide a safe and supportive space where teens can unburden their minds, express their feelings, and find meaningful solutions. By creating an environment of trust and openness, we empower them to release their problems and take steps toward a brighter, healthier future. Together, we aim to break the silence and build a stronger, more resilient generation.
