The Ithemba Foundation strives to raise awareness of depression and other related mental health conditions as biological illnesses, and to raise funds for research about these diseases. On our website you’ll find information about depression and mental health, where you can go for help, some background about our Foundation and how you can get involved.

Ithemba means “hope” in isiXhosa. We aim to create hope by talking openly about depression and contributing to the knowledge about this disease.
