“Tumaini Counselling Centre was a lifeline for me. They didn’t just provide care—they connected me with a therapist who truly understood the challenges of missionary life. Through their compassionate, faith-centered approach, I felt seen, supported, and cared for in ways I hadn’t experienced before. Their genuine connection helped me navigate a difficult season with renewed hope and healing. I’m incredibly grateful for the difference they made in my journey."— Former TCC Client
