Director for Global Mental Health, HealthRight International

Partnering with Elrha empowers change in the truest sense. The staff are always by our side to help address challenges, build new skills, and develop strategies to improve project impact. I really enjoyed the supportive monthly check-in calls, which helped us overcome obstacles and achieve excellent results. More than just a funder, Elrha is a genuine partner who supports every stage of our work – from design and implementation to evaluation and scale-up of low-intensity psychological interventions – and enriches our expertise in strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and research uptake.
