This initiative was founded by Edwin Gitau Kibe:-
Edwin the founder and director of UHAI Centre is a successful recovering alcoholic (after over 10 years of alcohol abuse) whose life has changed tremendously. Upon recovery in 2011, he realized that many were affected and stigmatized; he underwent rigorous professional training conducted by NACADA in collaboration with NAADAC. He eventually graduated as a certified addiction professional in 2014.
In the year 2015, he pursued a M.A. degree in Project Planning and Management at the University of Nairobi and graduated in 2017. This has equipped him with skills, which have helped him run a successful project in tackling the menace of alcohol and substance abuse in the community.
