About GEMINI

Building a just, inclusive, and sustainable world from the ground up

Our Story

At Grassroots Empowerment Initiative we believe in a just, inclusive, and sustainable world, one where no one is left behind.

Founded on the principle that social issues do not exist in isolation, our work sits at the intersection of climate justice, disability rights, SRHR, and broader social justice movements.

Our Vision

A just and inclusive world where persons living with disabilities have full access to rights, resources, and opportunities.

🌍

Global Impact

We recognize that the most marginalized communities often bear the greatest burden of climate change, restricted health access, and social exclusion, yet they also hold the most powerful solutions.

👥

Community Focus

We work with and for people with disabilities, young women and girls, refugees, and other underserved groups to amplify their voices, protect their rights, and ensure their leadership in shaping the future.

🚀

Grassroots Approach

From advocating for accessible climate policies and inclusive disaster response, to promoting youth-friendly SRHR services and dismantling systemic barriers, our mission is rooted in equity, dignity, and bold action.

Disability justice

Disability Justice

To build a world where disability is recognized as a natural part of human diversity, where all people have equal access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity, and where systems are designed to remove barriers, not just accommodate differences.

  • Advocating for accessible infrastructure and services
  • Training healthcare providers on disability-inclusive care
  • Supporting disability-led organizations and initiatives
SRHR care

SRHR - Care Without Shame

Access to abortion, HIV care, and gender-affirming services remains out of reach for those who need it most. Healthcare workers often hold stigmas, turning care into trauma. We're building safer, affirming spaces because dignity shouldn't depend on ability.

  • Establishing stigma-free healthcare facilities
  • Training healthcare workers on inclusive practices
  • Advocating for comprehensive SRHR policies

Our Approach

We are not just responding to injustice. We are reimagining what justice can look like.

Reimagining Justice

We are not just responding to injustice. We are reimagining what justice can look like, one where climate action is inclusive, sexual and reproductive rights are non-negotiable, and disability is recognized as a vital part of human diversity.

Grassroots Power

Together, we're building power at the grassroots and driving change from the ground up. We believe that the most marginalized communities hold the most powerful solutions.
