Why we intervene?
Globally, over a billion people are affected by mental health conditions, yet access to care remains a major challenge. In Uganda, it’s estimated that 1 in 4 young people face mental health issues, with 22.9% of children and 24.2% of adults experiencing mental health conditions. This is compounded by an alarming 85% treatment gap, alongside stigma, poverty, and limited resources that hinder access to care.
At Twogere, we focus on strengthening community-based systems, mental health awareness, economic empowerment, and offering peer support to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for mental health, especially among youth.
Partner with us
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 and community health workers to help support the mental health needs of young people.
But our work is far from over. Too many young people still struggle in silence without the care they deserve, and we need your support more than ever. Our goal is to reach one million young people across Uganda by 2030.
