Greetings

Umurage Growth is a Rwanda-based non-profit organization, initially established under the umbrella of Global Grassroots, an international NGO that ceased operations in East Africa.

As Global Grassroots phased out its operations, Umurage Growth was formed to carry forward the mission of empowering individuals, particularly grassroots-level women and young women, in self-discovery, personal growth, and positive action.

Umurage means “legacy” in Kinyarwanda and speaks to our commitment to build on the foundation of the vision and mission we shared with Global Grassroots and the remarkable Conscious Social Change projects we collectively created.

We believe that It is important to work towards the greater good and increase individual awareness in order to create positive social change. The women who are most vulnerable in our society often have a deep commitment to the well-being of their communities, but they require more support to fully realize their potential. With the right resources, these women can play a key role in driving societal transformation. This includes mindfulness practices, social venture skills, independent management of social issues, financial services, human resources, information networks, and regular participation in monitoring and evaluation. By empowering these women, we can create a better world for everyone.

Finally, empowering initiatives help individuals recognize their worth, voice their concerns, and drive positive change in their community, leading to healing.

The Umurage Growth staff team invites you to partner with us as we carry this vision forward. We invite you to play a crucial role in continuing to bring this life-changing work to East Africa. Working together, we can make a significant difference and build a better future for everyone.
