From 2006 to 2023, Global Grassroots supported nearly 1,000 African change agents with a unique combination of mindfulness, trauma-healing, and social entrepreneurship training that we call Conscious Social Change.
As of October 2023, we concluded our operations in East Africa and have now dissolved our 501(c)3. Our legacy continues, led by former Global Grassroots’ staff members in Rwanda and Uganda.
Our Vision
Our vision was that women and girls in post-conflict and underserved communities of East Africa would have the capacity and resources to bring their own social change ideas to fruition as sustainable, impactful and mindful organizations; and, that Conscious Social Change would represent a new movement for collaborative, inner-driven change, worldwide.
Our Unique Approach
Global Grassroots’ Academy for Conscious Change offered a combination of intensive training with hands-on opportunities to apply mindful leadership skills while implementing a self-designed social purpose venture.
