BasicNeeds is a nonprofit organization focused on mental health, aiming to improve the lives of people facing mental health challenges in some of the world’s poorest communities. The organization notes that a large share of those affected live in developing countries where treatment is scarce and stigma is widespread. It works with local communities in Africa and Asia to reduce stigma, expand access to treatment and support, and help people with mental illness pursue education or employment. Based in Leamington Spa, England, the organization has a mid-sized team delivering its programs. Its work centers on individuals in low-resource settings who experience mental health problems, with a focus on removing barriers to care and opportunities so they can plan for their futures.
