Tap Elderly Women's Wisdom for Youth (TEWWY)

​

Project Information

A key metric for the organization is the number of people with MNS conditions identified and
supported. WWCs administer a PRIME-MD diagnostic instrument for common mental disorders
— Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) — to understand the depression severity and its
impact on the daily lives of people in Tanzania; plus additional multiple-choice and open-ended
questions regarding stressors and coping mechanisms.

Visualizing data from its depression severity survey will make it possible for TEWWY to
communicate the impact of the MHIP to key stakeholders, including communities, government
partners, and funders, as well as the general public. It will also help elevate the conversation
about mental health in Tanzania, and the importance of enacting mental health care in non-
communicable disease policies.

Call-to-Action
Help communicate the impact the MHIP has had in local communities in Dar-es-Salaam by
creating engaging data visualizations; to raise awareness and inspire support towards
mental health initiatives.

Audience
Government partners, funders, small donors, key stakeholders, and communities.

Data visualisation will be used on our media and communication channels - website, blog,
social media, progress and annual reports, grant applica2ons, and other communications
