Claver HARAGIRIMANA - Project Coordinator
OPROMAMER is an organization that advocates for those with mental health issues in Rwanda. We work directly with patients during and after their treatment at CARAES NDERA Hospital.

After recognizing the misconceptions people have about mental health illness and following the difficulties that mentally ill and mentally-challenged people face in the Rwandan community, we were determined to improve care, consideration, and compassion for those with mental health issues.

- Program Counselor and Vice-Director




OPROMAMER was created in cooperation with experts in the fields of Rwandan law, psychology, social work and education. Together, we work to inform the public and remove the stigmas surrounding mental illness in order to enable those with mental challenges to find a welcome place within their communities.

We also seek to nurture the talents within every individual, and show that they can enjoy prosperity through labor, focus and dedication. Our goal and most earnest endeavor is to provide the means to allow people to develop their skills so that they may generate income in their daily life and contribute to the country's development, despite mental health challenges.

We are always looking for collaboration with passionate professionals and volunteers. Please, contact us and let us know how you can help.
