Our Leadership
Dr. Peter Leonard Sakejo
Founder & CEO
Psychiatrist
Dr. Peter Leonard Sakejo is a dedicated psychiatrist with over six years of experience at Muhimbili National Hospital. His vision to improve mental health access and quality in Tanzania led to the founding of Wathamani LTD in 2024.
Dr. Sakejo combines his clinical expertise in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder with a compassionate approach that focuses on the whole person. He believes that effective mental health care goes beyond medication to include therapeutic approaches and practical coping strategies.
"I believe in creating a supportive and understanding environment where you feel comfortable sharing your struggles. My approach is centered around you - listening to your concerns, understanding your unique situation, and working together to find the best path forward."
Through Wathamani, Dr. Sakejo aims to build a network of qualified mental health professionals and institutions across Tanzania, making quality care accessible to all who need it.

- Quality mental health services are available throughout the country
- Stigma around mental health conditions is eliminated
- Preventive mental health education reaches all communities
