The Hope Alive Initiative (THAI)

The Hope Alive Initiative is community based organization located in Mayuge District in Eastern Uganda. The organisation was formed by a group of individuals from different walks of life after a survey that was conducted and found out that majority of the Ugandan people are still living below the poverty line and do not have access to general information that would help them change their lives holistically. This exists because of the lack or existence of limited resources and access to information at our exposure, an issue which calls for the establishment of a body or organization to advice or open eyes of the local masses on how to utilise these local resources and how rich these local resources are to help them uplift the social and economic standards of the average Ugandan. For this reason, the founder members of THAI came up with the organization to help in fixing the situation.
