Loneliness is not just being alone. It’s also feeling unwanted, isolated and disconnected from other people. Africa used to be community-oriented, but things started changing when the different countries were colonized. Suddenly, the people could not trust each other which led to a slow but sure crumble in our societal structure. As the years went by, rural-to-urban migration became a reality which slowly made up the current individualistic culture.
Loneliness can worsen our mental health. It affects how the brain functions. Which could further aggravate an existing mental health challenge. While many popular people make it seem like we can “self-care” our way out of loneliness, I am here to remind you about community care. That is why all our solutions are anchored on it.
