Human Initiative organization was founded on the premise of ensuring that extreme poverty can be eradicated and that human beings can live dignified and fulfilled lives. Education is one of the key pillars of our transformational agenda that we believe will contribute to the process of eradicating extreme poverty. An educated society has the ability to produce answers to its core needs. At Human Initiative organization we lay emphasis on ensuring that boys and girls get equal
opportunities to learn, grow and develop to their full potential with a lot of emphasis being put on the girl child. Our hope is to encourage even the elderly population of our target groups to enrol and acquire education as well as new skills to help them improve their lives.
Human Initiative organization Aid is alive to the trends of the world and lays emphasis on the use of technology to drive our agenda. To this end, we continuously seek the expertise of ICT professionals to infuse the use of ICT in our quest to achieve digital inclusivity.
Human Initiative organization’s core focus is mainly on Goal 1 (No Poverty), Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal 3 (Good Health and Well Being) and Goal 4 (Quality Education), however as already mentioned these goals are interconnected and hence we will strive to address all co-related areas that can help us reach our goals at the organization.

CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change is a reality in current times and efforts are being made to mitigate its effects in many quarters. Global warming is coursing long-lasting changes to our climate system threatening irreversible consequences if no action is taken now. Food security is threatened by changing weather partners which interferes with farming practices. It is our deliberate effort to ensure that communities understand the effects of climate change and introduce ways through which its effects can be reduced. Every single individual has a role to play if we have to save our planet.
PEACE & RADICALIZATION
Often youth with limited opportunities become victims of circumstances, many of them become radicalized and join unlawful groups and become a threat to society.
Our peace program seeks to engage youth meaningfully to ensure that their time is spent well, they have a discourse structure to address their personal issues and have a listening partner to offer advice and help where necessary to avert potential threats to peace through radicalization.

This shortage translates to large class sizes of up to 100 pupils per class and hence ineffective teaching, posing a big challenge to the attainment of quality education.
