A foundation is using music therapy to counter the sense of hopelessness, isolation and depression among older adults by staging melodious performances across various regions of the country.
Lynnshosaha Foundation stages live music performance to help address mental health issues and improve happiness targeting the vulnerable elderly individuals in the rural communities.
Wickline Obong'o, the founder of Lynnshosaha Foundation, expresses concern that many elderly individuals are being neglected in their homes, often left without adequate care or companionship.
This lack of support, she says is contributing to a rise in depression among this vulnerable population. "When you visit the elderly at home, you often find them lonely and sad.
