Thrive Together Initiative is a legally registered Community-Based Organization (CBO) operating under the Non-Governmental Organizations Act, 2016 (Reg. No. MKN/CBO/5064/2025). We serve communities in Kyampisi Sub-County, Mukono Municipality, and Namataba Town Council in Mukono District, Uganda.
The Thrive Together Initiative was born in the heart of a crisis. During the COVID-19 lockdown, our co-founder, Giramia Comfert, lost her job. With no income and the weight of caring for her younger siblings, she faced fear, uncertainty, and a future that seemed to collapse overnight. But in that moment of despair, she turned to a memory: the smell of roasted groundnuts her parents lovingly packed when she returned to school. With just $14.70, Comfert bought 3 kgs of raw groundnuts, roasted them, and stepped onto the streets to sell. She had no brand, no stall, no training, just hope.
