The third of August, marks ten years since the start of ISIS attacks in Sinjar, signaling the beginning of its terrorist campaign against the Yazidi population. We want to acknowledge their resilience and the ongoing struggle for healing. The world must continue to support the Yazidi people in their quest for the return of the missing, and for justice. Let this anniversary serve as a reminder of the importance of vigilance against hatred and a commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of all peoples.
#IWD2024
Today, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women worldwide, and we’re thrilled to share an exciting that took place within our organization last year. Our first female Country Director, Sara Juko, began leading our dedicated Uganda team as they provide vital mental health programming for people affected by war.
For Healing, Together in Ukraine.
Emma Crim has grown up beside the work of Tutapona, but she was 16 years old when she realized she wanted to be a part of it. She is now overseeing our Ukranian work alongside her husband, Jaydon, and has seen the power of collective healing through group programming firsthand in Uganda, Iraq, and now Ukraine!
A Message of Hope, Peace, and Healing
Issa has lived an extraordinary life, ending up as a refugee several times, and being kidnapped to serve as a child soldier. He found a way forward after receiving mental health support, and is now a Heroes Journey Program Facilitator in Northern Uganda. This Christmas, he wanted to share a message of hope, peace, and gratitude with you.
We rode our bikes across America. WHY? For mental health support!
Last month, an incredible team of riders and crew members took on the Race Across America - a grueling coast to coast bicycle race in 7 days - all to raise awareness and support for Tutapona’s mental health programming. In total, they raised $120,000 USD for our work, and came in 3rd place in the eight-rider teams!

A light in the darkness
Director of Communications, Chaundra Eagar, shares why storytelling is so important to what we do, and how it connects us all - especially at this time of year as we reflect on other refugees seeking a safe space to have a baby. Though culture and distance may separate us, there is so much more that brings us together.
Mental Health is for Everyone
