Founder’s Message
From Marian Ayi-Bonte, Founder of Marian Bonte International
As the founder of Marian Bonte International, I am deeply honored to lead an organization devoted to the psychological and emotional well-being of individuals—especially those whose voices are often unheard.
Growing up and working in Ghana, I witnessed firsthand the silent struggles many people endure due to emotional trauma, societal stigma, and a lack of mental health resources. These experiences shaped my conviction that mental health is not a luxury—it is a necessity, and a right.
At Marian Bonte International, we are creating spaces where healing is possible, where children feel safe to express themselves, and where marginalized groups are empowered with tools for resilience and self-worth. Our work is driven by empathy, inclusion, and the belief that when we care for the mind, we nurture the potential of the whole person.
This mission is not mine alone—it belongs to every counselor, volunteer, partner, and supporter who believes in a future where emotional well-being is accessible to all. Together, we are breaking barriers, restoring dignity, and building a more compassionate world.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
With gratitude,
Marian Ayi-Bonte
