Message from the Chairperson

The year 2023–24 has been a period of growth and deeper engagement for GRASS. We expanded our reach through new skill training programs, more health and awareness camps, and activities that connected with youth, women, and senior citizens alike.

Our focus on education, empowerment, and community development continued to guide every initiative. I extend heartfelt gratitude to our supporters, volunteers, and well-wishers who made these achievements possible.

With your continued trust, we aim to scale our efforts further and create lasting impact in the years ahead.
