Being
Being is a global mental health initiative that envisions a world where young people feel well and thrive.
We are seeking bold prevention and promotion ideas that address the early drivers of mental health and wellbeing for underserved young people aged 10- to 24 in 12 priority countries: Colombia, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Morocco, Pakistan, Romania, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Vietnam.
We strongly encourage applications from, and will give preference to, youth-led organizations based in Being’s 12 countries.
