Background

About Anna Thakkar

With over three years of experience in counseling and mental health, I am currently the Counselling Manager at Sozo Children, a nonprofit organization that supports vulnerable children, teenagers, and young people in Uganda. I have a Master of Public Health degree and a diploma in nursing, which enable me to provide holistic and evidence-based care to my clients. My mission is to improve the lives of those affected by HIV/AIDS, poverty, and violence, and empower them to achieve their goals and potential. I use biblical counseling and trauma-informed care to address the psychological and spiritual needs of the children on the program, and work with external partners and stakeholders to prevent human trafficking and promote the welfare and safety of the women who migrate to work. I leverage my skills in adolescent health and mental health counseling to make a positive impact in my field.
