Our Story

From lived experience to impact.

 

Since 2012, Twogere has worked to change how young people understand their own mental health, challenge deep-seated social stigma, and build scalable, life-saving support systems directly inside Uganda's schools.

Godfrey Kagaayi founds Twogere as a peer support group to run anti-stigma campaigns and create safe spaces for lived experience leadership.

Values

Our values guide how we show up for young people, design our curriculums, and partner with schools.

Compassion First

We respond to young people with empathy, dignity, and zero judgment. We believe trust is the absolute foundation of mental wellbeing, and support must feel safe before it can be effective.

Youth-Led Change

Students are not passive beneficiaries of mental health systems—they are the heart of them. We create structured spaces for young people to lead honest conversations, support their peers, and drive a culture of wellness in their schools.

Collective Care

Mental health is not an individual burden to carry. We build shared ecosystems of care that link teachers, students, families, and professionals together, ensuring that a student in distress is always within arm's reach of a responder.
