Hi everyone,

I’m happy to share that I will be participating in the Kutana Wema programme, a collaborative initiative between Redbird Therapy Centre in Toronto, Canada—where I work as a Registered Psychotherapist—and the Wema Centre in Mombasa, Kenya.

The Wema Centre rescues, rehabilitates, and reintegrates street-connected children. This programme is an opportunity to connect with and offer support to their beneficiaries through a trauma-informed, relationship-centred approach.

As part of my involvement, I have committed to raising at least $1,000 USD, which will be donated directly to the Wema Centre in March 2026. This is not money for my travel or programme costs; it goes straight to the life-changing services that the Wema Centre provides for to up to 150 children.

Why This Matters to Me:

Learning about the decades of work that the Wema Centre has put into supporting vulnerable children, I felt an immediate connection. As an undergraduate student, I had volunteered to lead arts-based programmes in low-income public schools in India, where I saw how creativity, care, and safe connection can transform a child’s sense of identity. This led me to start my career as a creative movement educator for children in K-5 settings, following which I began my journey as a therapist.

Where Your Donation Goes:

Your contribution will go directly to the Wema Centre, supporting:

With love and appreciation,

Aanchal
