Welcome to "Non-Profit Shapers," the podcast that brings to light the extraordinary work of lesser-known and well-known non-profits and social innovators. In each episode, we dive into the stories of organisations and individuals who are making a significant impact in their communities, often without the recognition and acknowlegement they deserve. Our mission is to create a platform where funders and donors can discover these hidden gems, and connect to their stories and models, leading to new opportunities for support, learning and collaboration. From grassroots initiatives to innovative problem-solving solutions, we explore a diverse range of themes, providing insights and inspiration to non-profit professionals, social entrepreneurs, and anyone passionate about social impact. Join us as we uncover the people and projects driving change and learn how you can get involved in supporting these vital causes. Whether you are a seasoned non-profit leader, a curious donor, or someone looking to make a difference, "Non-Profit Shapers" has something for you

Amisa Rashid of Nivishe Foundation on importance of localisation in mental health interventions
In this episode, we sit down with Amisa Rashid, the founder and executive director of Nivishe Foundation, a youth and women-led organization based in Kibra, Nairobi, Kenya. Founded in 2019, Nivishe is dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health and raising awareness about mental illnesses at the grassroots level, particularly in marginalized communities and informal settlements.

Through these initiatives, Nivishe empowers women, girls, and other vulnerable individuals, helping them cope with the mental health challenges they face due to poverty, stigma, and social exclusion. Amisa will discuss how Nivishe's work in mental health awareness and social cohesion is having a transformative impact in Kibra and surrounding low-income areas.
In this conversation, we'll explore the importance of promoting mental health education, breaking down mental health stigma, and using trauma-informed care as a tool for building stronger, more resilient communities.
