About Us
A pioneering idea that grew with Uganda's young people
Established in 1994, Naguru Teenage Centre (NTC) is one of Uganda’s pioneering organisations in adolescent health. NTC provides accessible, youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services, primarily targeting adolescents and young people aged 10–24 years. The organisation is legally registered with Uganda’s National Bureau for NGOs as a non-governmental organisation.
NTC began as an adolescent health clinic at Naguru Health Centre IV under the former Kampala City Council. It was founded through the collaborative efforts of Swedish and Ugandan gynaecologists, with support from UNICEF and a dedicated team of Ugandan volunteer midwives and social workers.
Over the years, NTC has evolved from an adolescent health clinic into a community-based organisation and, ultimately, a fully registered NGO. With more than three decades of experience in adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights (ASRHR), NTC has developed and implemented a responsive, youth-friendly service-delivery model that addresses the diverse needs of adolescents and young people.
Through service delivery, advocacy and community engagement, NTC has contributed to shaping policies, strengthening health programmes and improving access to quality health services for young people across Uganda. NTC is currently based at Kiswa Health Centre III, where it continues to provide a comprehensive range of sexual and reproductive health information and services to adolescents and young people.
