Introduction
Global Conflict & Crisis Strategic Solutions (GC2S2) is proud to present its 2024–2025 Annual Report. This year, we expanded our impact through vital partnerships and projects designed to strengthen safety, education, and resilience in vulnerable communities.
Working with Start the Ripple (STR) and Ebenezer Junior School in Kyanjiri, Uganda, we successfully delivered multiple initiatives that enhanced security, improved learning environments, supported student well-being, and advanced community development.
Beyond Uganda, GC2S2 has laid the groundwork for upcoming WASH, livelihood, and resilience programs across Africa and initiated new community empowerment projects in the United States.
Our achievements this year reflect our commitment to channeling 100% of donor contributions directly into projects, with all administrative costs covered personally by our founder.
