The organisation is committed to a policy of gender diversity, promote human rights, non-discrimination in employment and in the provision of healthy services. The Center is committed to a policy of diversity and non-discrimination in employment and in the provision of all services.

TEU’s vision is a Ugandan society that understands and accepts different gender expressions and works to promote human rights, economic empowerment, and equal access to health services for transgender women and transgender workers. We as well educate Ugandan society about transgender issues, promote access to health care services, including HIV prevention, care, treatment and support, as well as legal and social services for transgender women and transgender workers.

Promoting Health and Well-being

One of TEU’s key missions is to make sure transgender women and transgender sex workers get the health care they need. This includes services related to HIV prevention, treatment, and care. Many people in the transgender community are at higher risk of HIV, and TEU is working to reduce this risk by spreading awareness, offering support, and helping people get the right treatment.

Legal and Social Support

Besides health services, TEU also fights for legal rights and social protection. They help transgender people access legal services, report discrimination or violence, and find social support. Their work helps transgender individuals feel safer and more included in society.

Creating Awareness Through Education

TEU also focuses on educating the wider Ugandan public about transgender issues. Many people do not fully understand what it means to be transgender. Through community programs, workshops, and outreach, TEU helps change negative attitudes and reduce stigma. By sharing real stories and facts, they hope to build a more accepting and informed society.
