But the question raised by people who should know better is: “But what has Africa contributed to world progress? “ Let’s not forget scientists who agree that Africa was the birthplace of humans, and that for many centuries after that, Africa led the way in world progress.

Support For Mental Health
Journey of Hope

Mental Health Awareness
Mental health affects most aspects of our life including our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It’s more common to be diagnosed with a mental health illness than you might think because chances are that more than 50% will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime.
Even though we know that it’s common, there are still a lot of stigmas that surrounds mental illness. Unfortunately, more than half of people with a mental illness do not receive help for their disorders. And often, people avoid or delay seeking treatment due to concerns about being treated differently or fears of losing their jobs and livelihood. But there are organisations and campaigns that are encouraging conversations around mental wellbeing.
In light of raising awareness, below we have have listed some powerful mental health quotes that we hope you find comforting and encouraging on days that may be more difficult than others. While these quotes may help lessen some of what you’re feeling, we do advise that you speak with a licensed therapist who can help you cope by engaging long-term procedures and mechanisms.
