Mental health is a global issue affecting millions of young people, yet barriers to care still exist.

At Twogere, we are on a mission to break barriers to mental health care and support by creating pathways to accessible, inclusive, and effective mental health services for young people across Uganda.

A message from Our Founder

To all our partners and supporters,

At Twogere, we believe every young person deserves access to mental health care and support. Since 2012, we have been working to break down barriers to mental healthcare and support and creating safe spaces for open conversations about young people's mental health.

With your support, we have reached thousands of young people through our programs in schools and communities. More than 10,000 young people have received direct mental health support, and trained hundreds of teachers to help them support students in need.

But our work is far from over. Too many young people still struggle in silence without the care they deserve, and now we need your support more than ever. Our goal is to reach one million young people by 2030. I invite you to join us in making this goal a reality.

Our Approach

Leading with Lived Experience

We collaborate with young people with lived experience to co-design inclusive mental health programs and interventions.

Strengthening Community Systems

We invest in strengthening existing community systems instead of creating parallel structures.

Empowerment of Mental Health Service Users

Facilitating opportunities for young people affected by mental health problems to gain or regain ability to work, earn and contribute to family and community.

Foundation of our work

Our work guided by three foundational principles.

Community Driven: Community is at the

heart of what we do at Twogere. We work
with local communities to identify the mental health needs of young people
and available resources and build on those
to improve their well-being.

Collaboration for Inclusive Care. We
collaborate with experts by experience,
caregivers, and mental health professionals and other partners to co-design services that are truly supportive and inclusive for young people.

Learning & Innovation: We continually
learn from our work and others to improve the way we approach the ever-changing mental health landscape.

Our Impact

We’ve been on a mission to break barriers to mental health care and support since 2012, and with the help of generous supporters like you, we’re getting closer every day.
