Who We Are

Deeply moved by the hardships witnessed during Uganda’s prolonged COVID-19 lockdown (2020–2021), founding members initially operating as a volunteer group provided critical humanitarian relief to marginalized populations.

Formally established in 2023, Together for Transformation Initiatives (TTI) has since worked to move beyond relief and handouts towards entrepreneurship support, STEM agriculture skilling, and initiatives that strengthen communities, family and individual well-being, creating long-term social and economic resilience among youth and women in underserved communities.

Our Vision

We fight for a country where the poor and vulnerable enjoy a good quality of life.

Our history
2024

As student welfare concerns continue to unfold across learning institutions against the backdrop of a widespread lack of youth-friendly health services and information, TTI's response marked a crucial milestone in youth-focused outreach. TTI stepped forward to be part of these vital intervention efforts by conducting a comprehensive sensitization campaign on mental health and substance use prevention. This initiative successfully reached 250 students, equipping young people with vital coping mechanisms and awareness to foster individual and psychological resilience. Recognized for its proactive community impact, TTI continues to be a vital agency in youth well-being and preventative health education to this day.
