About Us

Young people are not beneficiaries, they are co-creators and leaders of change.

Our Story

We founded WILCAH driven by an unwavering commitment to serving our fellow youth and the overarching purpose of advancing mental health and well-being among young people by fostering resilience, support, and a positive culture.

WILCAH is a registered grassroots women and youth-led NGO based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

At WILCAH, we believe young people should be active participants regarding the policies, services, and programs that impact their health and development.

Channeling the wisdom of an ancient proverb: 'Tell me, I forget. Show me, I remember. Involve me, I understand.'
