05.08 Justification de mon projet

At wellness oasis community we envision and embody ourselves to stand out in a crowd. Our research only found that the online mental health platform is very dominant in the west with services less than three in Kenya. It is in light of this that we have set ourselves apart to reach people through our online platform.

Our healthy competitors are Better Help, Regain and Faithful counseling. I believe what makes us stand out is the fact that we offer our services to areas they have not managed to reach out to, in this particular setup, areas in Africa as a region, especially Kenya.
