A word from our founder

Prof. Florence Mirembe

Established in 1994, the Naguru Teenage Centre is a Ugandan organisation dedicated to enhancing the health, rights, and livelihoods of adolescents and young people. We serve as a trusted partner to communities, government, and the private sector by offering youth-friendly health services, strengthening community systems, and equipping young people with the skills and connections they need to secure dignified employment and develop sustainable enterprises. Over three decades, we have grown from a single centre into a networked platform that combines clinical care, psychosocial support, digital engagement, and economic opportunities, with safeguarding and equity at its heart.

Word From Our Execuitive Director

Dr Ampwera Rodgers

For nearly 30 years, the Naguru Health Centre (NTC) has been a pioneer in championing the health and rights of Uganda’s young people. It all began in 1994, with a simple yet powerful idea: create a space where adolescents could access respectful, confidential sexual and reproductive healthcare. Founded by dedicated gynecologists and volunteers at Naguru Health Centre, with early support from UNICEF, that single clinic has grown into the registered NGO we are today. Our journey—from a clinic, to a community organization, to a national NGO—has always been guided by the needs of the young people we serve. Our youth-friendly model, now based at Kiswa Health Center III, has not only transformed individual lives but has also helped shape national health policy and programming. As we reflect on our history, our commitment remains unwavering. We carry forward the legacy of our founders with gratitude and look to the future with resolve. NTC will continue to be a place where every young person can find the information, support, and care they need to build a healthy, empowered future. Thank you for being part of our story.

Executive Director, NTC
