While still a student in college in 2018, Tom co-founded Mental Health And Wellness Kenya with friends. The organization is a leading advocate for mental health awareness, early intervention, and accessible mental health services throughout Kenya.

Through community outreach, youth mental health programs, and anti-stigma campaigns, Mental Health and Wellness Kenya is building a mentally healthy, informed, and empowered society.

Its mission is to improve national mental health outcomes by delivering affordable mental wellness resources and support where they’re needed most especially in underserved communities. The organization has a number of innovative programs and targeted services and has already reached over 50,000 people and is supported by 180 volunteers. https://lnkd.in/gc43QbgW

Tom is a trained Counsellor, a law graduate and mentor who is passionate about addressing cases of mental health among youth, adults and the underprivileged in society. He was recognized for his work in 2023, winning Top 35 Under 35 Young Kenyans honours Issued by The Youth Agenda.

Tom and his colleagues are busy planning to host a World Mental Health Day Convention on the 10th of October, 2025 at the Kenya Coast College, Mombasa, Kenya. They would like to connect with people from other mental health organizations around the world to learn from each other's work and best practices, and develop international partnerships. Mental Health and Wellness Kenya is currently conducting a fundraising campaign and would be grateful for the support of interested individuals and organizations:
