Our Founding Story

In 2020, Kush Ivan Omagor witnessed firsthand the silent suffering of men in his community. After his friend lost custody of his children and tragically took his own life, Ivan recognized the systemic neglect of men facing emotional trauma, legal injustice, and societal pressure.

Determined to act and fueled by his own traumatic journey, Ivan gathered a few affected men with similar cases to talk, listen, and heal. That humble beginning has since grown into the Omagor Men’s Foundation—one of Uganda’s most active voices for men and youth’s mental health, legal advocacy, mentorship, and social reintegration.

"We don't want special treatment – just equal consideration. When men thrive, entire families and communities benefit."
- Omagor Ivan, Founder
