\n\"logo_omoana\"<\/a><\/p>\n

vivo international e.V. and the Swiss NGO Omoana started cooperating in Uganda in 2013. Since 2003 Omoana is supporting orphans in Uganda and has constantly advanced its program areas, that are ranging from microcredit programs for families in need, to scholarship programs, to an organic farming training center. In the course of their projects in Northern Uganda Omoana realized that suffering from mental health disorders prevented many of their beneficiaries from making full use of the support given. That is how a fruitful cooperation developed between Omoana and vivo\u2019s outpatient clinic in Northern Uganda. Today our Ugandan therapists work hand in hand with Omoana and other local partners, like ACOT (African Child Outreach Trust) and contribute to the holistic care of beneficiaries and their families through adding the psychosocial component. Among others, vivo\u2019s local therapists offer clinical diagnostics, trauma-therapy, crisis intervention (including suicidal crises), family mediation and counseling sessions.<\/p>\n
