In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the world seemed to be crumbling around us, a spark of hope emerged. GRM (GrassRoots Ministry) was born, founded by Grace Julius Ssembatya in October 2020.
Grace’s own experiences of struggle and resilience fueled his passion to create positive change. He saw firsthand the devastating impact of the pandemic on rural youth, who were losing their livelihoods, struggling with mental health, and feeling hopeless. But Grace refused to stand idly by. He decided to take action, driven by a fierce determination to empower these young people and help them reclaim their futures.
GRM’s mission is to educate, equip, and inspire rural young people to become catalysts for positive change. We envision a prosperous and self-sufficient rural Uganda, where young people are empowered with skills, knowledge, and resources to drive socio-economic transformation.
Be part of a community that’s dedicated to creating a brighter future for rural youth. Together, we can:
- Educate and equip young people with skills and knowledge
- Inspire and empower them to drive positive change
- Support and uplift rural communities to thrive
Join GRM on this journey to transform the lives of rural young people. Let’s rise together and create a brighter future for all.
