Our Story

Home / Our Story
2013 · IGANGA

A movement born from passion

In 2013, passionate young people in Iganga saw youth facing unemployment, school dropout, and no platforms to be heard.

In a country where over 80% is under 30, young people should drive development.

+256 Youth Platform was born—not as an organization, but as a movement.
