Our Story

Twogere was founded in 2012 by Godfrey Kagaayi to create a safe space for university students to openly discuss mental health. Recognizing the stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental health, Godfrey aimed to make these conversations more inclusive and accessible. 

​

What began as a small support group of two members quickly grew into a dynamic network of over 150 student advocates across three public universities, all dedicated to raising awareness and promoting mental health. In 2017, Twogere became a formally registered Community-Based Organization (CBO) focused on young people in and out of school in Kampala, advocating for better access to mental health services.

​

Today, Twogere is a nationally recognized NGO, working alongside key partners such as the Ministry of Health, schools, youth groups, and local leaders to co-design and implement community-driven mental health initiatives. Our work continues to break down barriers to mental health care, ensuring that young people and communities have the support they need.
