Family caregivers are the quiet backbone of support for seniors living with chronic illnesses. When they are equipped with clear knowledge, practical tools, emotional support, and a real voice in decision-making, both caregivers and older adults experience better health and quality of life. Empowering caregivers means offering training on daily care tasks, guidance on medication and symptom management, access to supportive communities, and time for rest. With the right structures, routines, and technology, families can navigate complex long-term conditions with greater confidence, resilience, and dignity.

The Purple Campaign swept across social media with a bold message: gender-based violence can no longer be ignored. What began in South Africa grew into a continent-wide stand for dignity, solidarity, and real action. Here’s why the movement mattered, and why its message still echoes.

Men carry so much in silence that even a day meant to honour them often slips by unnoticed.

We often laugh off pain until it becomes tragedy. In Africa, depression is still met with disbelief, “You’re bluffing,” “You just want attention.” But every cry for help matters. At Convo eTherapy, we believe in listening before it’s too late, offering a space where healing truly begins.

Mental health is the foundation of recovery. As crises unfold across the world, integrating psychological support into humanitarian response is no longer optional, it’s essential. At Convo Africa, we believe healing begins when people feel seen, supported, and connected.
