To develop and implement initiatives that directly involve people with mental illness or epilepsy, and their families and communities and other organisations to enhance self-determination and influence public opinion and decision-making on mental health and development.
Our Vision
People with mental illness or epilepsy live in dignity and satisfy their basic needs and exercise their basic rights.
BasicNeeds-Ghana is a mental health and development advocacy organisation that implements and promotes initiatives to transform the lives of people with mental illness or epilepsy by providing access to integrated mental health care, social and economic services in the communities of Ghana.
In the process, we empower individuals and their families and involve communities and partner with government and other organisations to influence public opinion and policy and enable people with mental illness or epilepsy to live and work successfully in their community.
