Our Story

Bungoma Health Link Forum was registered as a community-based organization (CBO) on 30/03/2022. We are located in Kanduyi Subcounty, Bungoma County.

The facility was officially opened by His Excellency Rt. Hon. Kenneth M. Lusaka, EGH Governor Bungoma County on 12/01/2024. In the presence of: Global Action 4 Mental Health and Breakthrough Episcopal social services.

We are a modification of a clubhouse concept where adults living with depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia are guided and supported to achieve recovery.

We refer to persons living with depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia as members and not as patients. Our membership is voluntary and timeless. We aim at combating the consequences associated with serious mental illness by supporting the strengths of our members and addressing obstacles in real time.

We provide psychiatric consultations, psychological guidance, and meals at no cost to our members. We have a staff establishment of seven (7) staff, 5 full-time and 2 part-time staff, and a board that oversees the operations at the facility.
