In the summer of 2023, Dr. Ronald Asiimwe of Uganda led an international team of EFT clinicians to spearhead the first ever EFT training in East Africa along with an immersion training, working with local leaders to promote mental and relational health services.  The externship, led by esteemed EFT trainers Dr. Elmien Lesch of South Africa and Dr. Paul Guillory of the United States, and in collaboration with the Uganda Counseling Association, was immensely successful with over 100 participants.  The international team went on to perform workshops and cross cultural dialogues in the community of Kampala.  

In the summer of 2024, Conexa returned with another team of international volunteers lead by Dr. Asiimwe, Dr. Lesch, and Dr. Guillory to Nairobi, Kenya, working with multiple professional associations to do another Externship as well as even more community engagements of workshops, dialogues, and trainings.  

Now in the summer of 2025, with the newly trained professionals who are building strong communities in Uganda and Nairobi, along with Dr. Elmien Lesch and her incredible team from Zimbabwe and South Africa, Conexa is seeking to grow the East Africa EFT community, made possible with your contributions and the important fundraisers needed to make these trainings feasible and transform communities suffering from violence and abuse in families, poverty, and a scarcity of mental health resources.
