People we've helped
"I was in a terrible stage of my life. I thought I had lost not just my mind but also my children. I now have a network of friends and the good people from MEWSo. I asked for help before it was too late."
Zhala, Kurdish mother of three
"When the doctor told me about my illness my life collapsed. I thought nobody could understand me or what I was suffering and that I would never cope. But being with a befriender and having her visit me every week was like a gift."
Suna, a Turkish widow
