“In the beginning, it was very difficult for me to talk about my personal problems,” Munira explains. “But we learned to express ourselves.” As part of the Living with Dignity project, Munira received a dairy cow to help her contribute to her family’s income. “We use her milk for our daily life and sometimes we sell it to other neighbours … This is how we make a living.” Munira is sharing her story as part of International Alert's Peace of Mind project, which demonstrates how peacebuilders can effectively incorporate mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in their own projects, drawing on lessons from our experience in Rwanda and Tajikistan.
