Built in Tanzania to bring mental health support to young people who had nowhere affordable, near, or safe to turn. A decade of frontline work, in schools, communities, and health services, proved what is possible.
What began as direct support grew into a delivery model: digital channels young people actually use, trained people already in their lives, and partnership with government to make it stick.
The rebrand is not a change of heart, it is the next chapter. The same commitment, a sharper focus on systems that last, and the ambition to carry the model beyond Tanzania.
Tanzania is the proof point. TAHMEF is the foundation. Ahadi is where it is going.
To connect young people to mental health care, build the frontline capacity to deliver it, and integrate both into public health systems for lasting support.
The team behind Ahadi has spent a decade working alongside young people, health workers, and government partners in Tanzania.
The board holds Ahadi accountable to its mission, overseeing strategy, safeguarding, and financial stewardship.
The YAB is a group of young Tanzanians who advise on what Ahadi builds and how it speaks. Members review services, test tools, and bring the lived experience of their communities into every core decision.
How to get involvedOur name is our commitment: support within reach for every young person, before crisis hits. A promise made, and kept.
