Ground Up Collective is a non-profit, feminist organisation established in  March 2023 in Cape Town, South Africa.

 

As a small emerging organisation we work with volunteers and in collaboration with other non-governmental organisations with similar missions.  We apply a gender transformative and intersectional approach focusing on building agency and reslience.

 

Our Mission

Our mission is to prevent violence and in paticular gender based violence, and provide spaces for healing and transformation.  

 

Our Focus

Our focus is on addressing the drivers of gender based violence and inequality at the individual, community and societal levels.  In this way, we believe we can heal, empower and transform ourselves, our relationships, our communities and our society. Our services focus on supporting survivors of injustice; prevention programmes working with at-risk groups, and building capacities of groups and organisations seeking to bring about social change and transformation. 

 

What we do

• Integrated psycho social support and thereapeutic services for learners from challenged households.

• Trauma informed conscious facilitation training for practitioners.

• Healing and empowerment programmes. 

• Capacity building interventions.
