A note of reflection from GGC Founder Marie Grace Uwingabire

Two years ago, on a normal day like today, I made one of the most meaningful decisions of my life. Grace Girls Coalition (GGC) started as a dream, an idea rooted in creating opportunities for young girls to learn, grow, and build better futures. Two years now, that dream is becoming reality.

I still remember signing our very first agreement on a piece of napkin.

At the time, I honestly thought it was a joke. Looking back today, it reminds me that every big journey can begin in the simplest way.

In just two years, together we have achieved:

🌻 200+ direct beneficiaries

🌻 1,000+ indirect beneficiaries

🌻 5 learning camps successfully hosted

🌻 8 cooperatives funded for our graduates

🌻 Operations expanded across 3 districts

What once felt small has grown into a movement of opportunity, empowerment, and hope.

None of this would have been possible without the trust, encouragement, and unwavering support of our partners, mentors, volunteers, supporters, and every girl who believed in this vision.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. We are proud of how far we have come, and even more excited for what lies ahead.

The work continues. 🌻
