Impact Story
Impact Story:
GRACE exists to empower the most vulnerable individuals in the Nyarugusu Refugee Camp, focusing on women, youth, and children who are facing extreme poverty and uncertainty. Through our comprehensive programs, we provide essential skills training, education, and resources that enable refugees to build a foundation for a self-sufficient future. By addressing urgent needs such as human rights advocacy and gender-based violence prevention, GRACE fosters resilience and a sense of dignity within a community that has experienced significant hardships. Our existence is a direct response to the challenges of displaced populations, striving to offer them hope and the tools necessary to regain control over their lives.
The positive impact of GRACE’s work is evident in the transformation of the lives of individuals and families in the camp. Women and youth have gained critical skills that have enabled them to generate income, reducing their dependency on aid. Additionally, our programs have improved access to education and healthcare services, contributing to healthier and more educated communities. Through our focus on peacebuilding and advocacy for human rights, we are nurturing an environment where individuals no longer live in fear, but are empowered to take part in their community’s development. This holistic approach is not only changing lives but also fostering long-term, sustainable change for the entire community.
