The program also addresses critical issues like early pregnancy, extreme poverty, inequality, domestic violence and all other kinds of physical and emotional abuse.
Restore Her Project is a Grimmius hands program that focuses on transforming the lives of vulnerable young women in Uganda through mentorship, discipleship, training them in trade, life skill training and counselling.
Objective
To ultimately empower girls, their families and community members, and support collective action to reduce teenage pregnancies.
Program Purpose
Our desire is to graciously and lovingly bring hope where lives have been torn apart and healing into the most painful places. The purpose of this program is to influence culture and retrogressive traditional mindsets in so many Ugandan communities. We envision young women coming into healthy God fearing marriages, where they can raise a family and also engage dignified employment.
Our Model
This program aims at enhancing the lives of vulnerable young women to end the vicious cycles, that leads to early pregnancy, increasing school dropout rates, prostitution…etc. We believe that every young woman is valuable and worthy of love and grace.
This program empowers vulnerable young women to break cycles of poverty, early pregnancy, and school dropouts. We believe every young woman deserves dignity, love, and opportunity.
Grimmius Hands focuses on three key areas:
- Train a Trade: Equip women with business skills.
- Mentorship: Provide counseling and guidance.
- Empowerment: Support women in starting micro-businesses to achieve self-sufficiency.
Our holistic approach aims to restore dignity, renew hope, and rekindle purpose in every young woman’s life.
