Digital Minds for Youth Wellbeing

UNLEASH Hack UniPod Rwanda Application

UNLEASH Hack UNIPOD Rwanda addresses the critical yet often overlooked issue of youth mental health using innovative digital solutions. Participants will collaborate to develop accessible platforms, apps, and community-based interventions that will provide mental health support, build resilience, and empower young Rwandans. The Hack aims to destigmatize mental health issues while creating tech-enabled and culturally appropriate tools that work within Rwanda’s health infrastructure. By bringing together mental health professionals, youth advocates, tech innovators, and community leaders, we’ll design solutions that blend traditional support systems with modern technology, ultimately promoting mental wellbeing, youth empowerment, and sustainable community development across Rwanda.
