African PTSD Relief representatives receiving the tradition thanks from the Kogetarakwa group, Tasmara, Kenya
Solomon Mwangi, Director for African PTSD Relief for Kenya and Tanzania, explains that several new groups with high levels of stress are benefiting PTSD from relief programs across the two countries.
In the Global One School in the largest urban slum in Africa, just outside of Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, 4 new faculty and 20 students were recently taught Transcendental Meditation.
In the Tasmarra region, where cattle rustling and theft have caused many violent conflicts, groups and schools have asked for support.
On the Tanzania-Kenya boarder the Nguvu Kazi Women’s group teamed up with African PTSD Relief to manage and reduce stress. “Nguvu Kazi,”which means “strength for work.” A first group of 48 women were instructed in Transcendental Meditation and are delighted with the benefits they are gaining.
This group is from the Kuria tribe and many have experienced horrendous trauma and likely suffer post-traumatic stress disorder.

Five members of this group had learnt Transcendental Meditation (TM ) last year and they are the ones who spread the word that a simple technique is available that gives relief from stress and trauma. Solomon Mwangi reports: “they had very good results by the time we finished the third day of follow-up after learning TM. The heavy weight of trauma has lifted and they feel relieved and a fresh sense of purpose of life”.
“There is really a very big demand and acceptance of TM in this area”, Solomon says. “Now there is another women's group of 64 that is keen to learn TM immediately.”
