Youth-Led tree therapy initiative tackles mental health challenges in Kuwadzana
By Princess Mharire
In the densely populated suburb of Kuwadzana, where green spaces are scarce and mental health services limited, a youth-led initiative is turning to nature to address rising levels of anxiety and depression.
Launched in 2020, the Greening Kuwadzana Project seeks to improve mental well-being through community-driven tree care and environmental activities.
Central to the project is the Tree Care Therapy for Mental Health programme, which combines tree planting with art therapy, music, sports, and educational workshops aimed at creating safe and supportive spaces, particularly for young people.
Tafadzwa Gwini, founder of the Greening Kuwadzana Project, said the initiative combines eco-therapy with self-care, noting that by giving back to the Earth, individuals also support their own healing.
