WHO WE ARE

An Afghan-led nonprofit building mental health support that people can actually reach.

Mission

To make mental health support easier to access through digital tools, community care and practical pathways to support.

Vision

A world where people affected by conflict, displacement and crisis can find care, connection and support before they are left to cope alone.

Approach

We centre dignity, language access, cultural safety and community leadership.

Founder 

Founded from lived experience and community work.

Muska was founded by Heela Yoon, an Afghan activist and communications professional with experience across peacebuilding, humanitarian response and community-led mental health work.
 

Before Muska, Heela founded Afghan Youth Ambassadors for Peace in Afghanistan. Through AYAPO, Heela and her team supported around 43,000 families through humanitarian aid, mental health workshops and leadership training.

“Crisis response must include emotional support, not only survival.”
