Pavel Reppo

I’m the co-founder and Executive Director of Finemind, where I work to bring practical, everyday mental health care to communities across East Africa by embedding it into public health systems people already trust. I’m also the founder of Matchbox Fund, a small grantmaking effort that supports early-stage mental health work that often gets overlooked. I care a lot about systems change, local leadership, and doing things in ways that actually work on the ground. Most of what I do is about finding small but meaningful ideas and helping them grow into something lasting.
