About Us
Why we do what we do
Neurodiversity is not an illness—it’s a different way of experiencing the world. In Uganda and many African societies, neurodiverse individuals are too often misunderstood, hidden away, or labeled unfairly. Caregivers are left feeling helpless, judged, and exhausted.
At Diverse Minds (U) Ltd, we want to change this narrative. We want every individual to be seen for who they are. Every caregiver to feel supported. Every teacher to feel equipped. And every community to see neurodiversity not as a burden, but as a beautiful part of human diversity.
Our Core Values
Support
Empathy
Safety
Collaboration
Our Vision
To be the leading organisation in Uganda that creates a world where neurodiverse individuals are fully understood, celebrated, and empowered through awareness, family support, and ensuring every life is valued and meaningful.
