At The Ithemba Foundation we like to refer to October as HOPEtober! This month is South Africa’s Mental Health Awareness Month and also marks the World Health Organisation’s Mental Health Awareness Day on 10 October. That is why The Ithemba Foundation celebrates the month of HOPEtober with our annual Hope Hike. This event helps to raise awareness of depression and anxiety as biological diseases that can be treated.
We also raise funds for research into mental health. So do your part to normalise mental health and destigmatise mental ill-health by joining us on our Hope Hike! You can enter to walk or run a variety of distances – and end Mental Health Awareness Month on a high note!
Further details and the registration link for the 2025 event will follow soon.
