Meet the team behind our mission

Tafara Wellness Initiative is run by a dedicated team that spans training, operations, partnerships, learning, and community engagement. We are united by the same conviction: that communities have the capacity to support their own mental wellness when they are given the right tools and the right backing.

We are still building. Each person who joins the team brings something that shapes how we work and what we are able to do.
