Lack of access to robust mental health care is a roadblock to the success of young people in Africa, says Templeton World Charity Foundation grantee Tom Osborn, CEO of the Shamiri Institute. Mental health is stigmatized in Kenya and many communities around the world. In Kiswahili, "shamiri" means "thrive." The Shamiri Institute aims to provide at-risk, low-income adolescents with "a chance to really achieve their life outcomes" and flourish. Its evidence-based, data-driven interventions are designed to help teenagers nurture and draw upon character strength. At Shamiri, a growth mindset is emphasized. Says Osborn: "Rather than thinking about their personal traits and attributes as being fixed, we try to train young people to think about these attributes as being valuable things that they can change through effort."
