Shamiri means "thrive". We are building a future where young people thrive.
Mission
To make quality mental health care accessible to every young person who needs it.
We do this by building systems — not just services. Our model trains young people to deliver proven interventions, powered by technology that ensures quality at scale.
Vision
A world where young people thrive.
By 2030, we aim to reach 10 million young people annually. Not by growing our organization 100x, but by proving a model that governments and partners can adopt.
Shamiri was founded in 2019 at the Lab for Youth Mental Health at Harvard University with the idea that simple interventions could help young people thrive. We launched in Kenya in 2021 and now serve hundreds of thousands of youth every year.
