Our Brief History

Hope Alive Initiatives for the Less Privileged has a long history predating operational approval by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). The NGO was a constant feature in her first area of operation in Lagos, especially supporting girl-child education, mobilising against poverty and destitution and campaigning against teenage pregnancy and homelessness among the vulnerable members of society.

The organisation secured its final operational approval from the regulatory institution on the 12th January 2026. Our journey is one of radical trust in human potential and unwavering commitment to empowering the less privileged.
