Our Story

Twogere was founded in 2012 by Godfrey Kagaayi, driven by a vision to make mental health care accessible, inclusive, and youth-centered in Uganda. At the time, mental health was rarely discussed, especially among young people, and support systems were often out of reach for those who needed them most.

​

Godfrey saw the urgent need for community-based, culturally relevant approaches that reflected the real experiences of young people. He believed that mental health support should be grounded in empathy, local knowledge, and youth participation—not stigma or silence.

​

What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a national youth-led movement. Twogere now works across schools and communities to challenge stigma, amplify youth voices, and co-create mental health solutions that are practical, inclusive, and sustainable.

Today, we continue to build on that founding vision—transforming how mental health is talked about, understood, and supported in Uganda, one conversation at a time.
