Half Marathon for Galkacyo Mental Health Centre

In the name of Allah, the most gracious the most merciful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. My name is Isak Guled and this is my Fundraising campaign for Galkacyo mental health centre.

On the 16th of February, I ran in the around the bays wellington to complete my first half marathon. I believe excercise is one of the best ways to better both physical and mental health and should be in our daily routine.

we are lucky to live in a society where healthcare is easily accessible. what if we lived in countries where there is no basic healthcare? or mental health issues are seen as a bad omen? in a country where one in three people have had or are going through mental health issues like Somalia it is very heartbreaking to say that is the case.

My goal for this fund is to support Galkacyo Mental Health center, the center is facing many problems among them:

Lack of electricity

Lack of sanitation, clean water

Lack of daily meals.

It costs Around $3NZD i to provide a meal for one patient as Somalias currency is inflated. No donation is too small.

To see the current patients and their situation for the center, kindly watch this video.

Somalia has been in amongst civil war for over two decades that destroyed all the institutions in the country, This has left deep mental health scars many average Somalis including mother's who are the breadwinners many families.
