Description
Humanitarian outreach initiatives are crucial in addressing the urgent needs of underserved communities, villages, and rural settlements in developing countries. The strength of their conceptual foundation determines the success of these initiatives. Drawing on our own experiences and research, as well as insights from other researchers and practitioners, we propose a comprehensive framework for effective outreach. The framework includes counselling and humanitarian services tailored to local needs, such as promoting proper hygiene, emphasising the importance of education, and providing services like haircuts, hair washing, and clothing distribution. Our findings highlight that cultural attitudes towards mental illness significantly impact the perception and response to intervention strategies in developing nations, emphasising the need for culturally sensitive approaches.
