Building Communities Since 2024
El Hai Pentecostal Ministries was founded in 2024 in Zana, Uganda, with a simple but powerful vision: using faith as a foundation to transform communities. What began as a small congregation committed to serving the marginalized has become a recognized NGO impacting thousands of lives.
Over the years, we have developed a range of community programs that address the root causes of poverty — offering economic opportunities through financial inclusion, building skills through vocational training and ICT, promoting food security, and ensuring the elderly and disabled receive dignified care.
Our approach is holistic: we believe true transformation happens when spiritual, economic, educational and physical needs are met together. We work with local leaders, international donors, churches and government partners to multiply our impact.
