About REPSSI

REPSSI (the Regional Psychosocial Support Initiative) helps children get the care and support they are entitled to. We are a non-profit regional organization working to lessen the devastating social and emotional impact of HIV and AIDS, poverty and conflict among children and youth in 13 countries in East and Southern Africa.

We maintain partnerships with governments, development partners, international organisations and NGOs in the region. With our technical advice and assistance, these partners implement programmes which strengthen communities’ and families’ ability to care for and protect their children and youth.

Our Impact

23-year-old helped by REPSSI tools, Limpopo

“I used to think I had no future and no hope. I felt alone. Now, I’m thinking about being a social worker. I want to be remembered for getting street kids back to school, for playing a role in stopping alcohol and substance abuse. I want to be remembered for bringing hope.“

Member of a parents’ group, Northern Uganda

‘My child was abducted. She came back very disturbed and upset. But you can now see she has peace in her mind. She is even happy’

Village headman, Zambia

“I would like to see more of my community experience what PSS tools can do for them. I want people to be able to look back and see that we made a difference in the lives of our children. We created a good future for them. And we are already seeing the fruits. That's why as community leaders we have embraced psychosocial support work.”
