About Us
History
Founded by Angelica Mkorongo, a Zimbabwean Service User with OCD, the Zimbabwe OCD Trust is dedicated to raising awareness of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety Disorders (AD) among Zimbabwean communities.
Zimbabwe OCD Trust provides support to individuals and families of those diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety Disorder (AD). We aim to end stigma associated with mental health disorders.We will achieve this through awareness, advocacy and community involvement.
Our mission is to:
- Provide a platform for OCD and AD sufferers, to engage with each other, express their life challenges, without the prejudice of stigma associated with mental disorders in indigenous African cultures.
- Raising general awareness of the existence of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety Disorder (AD) in communities.
- To reduce the number of suicide cases associated with this disorder including sexual abuse of minors by people suffering from OCD.
- To bring to the forefront for government and related stakeholders, the impact of OCD and AD and mental health at large, on the economic wellbeing of those affected, their immediate families and the economy at large.
- To provide those with mental health conditions a tranquil place to heal in the form of Care Farms.
