In just one week, our GRIT app has experienced an astounding 837,5% increase in downloads, onboarding over 7,000 new users. This surge is a clear indicator of the urgent need for our platform and the deep trust placed in us by survivors of gender-based violence. But this incredible growth is just the beginning, and we can't do it alone.
This past weekend, our app unexpectedly trended on TikTok, reaching over 180,000+ people, and garnered another 40,000 views on Instagram and Facebook. The response was overwhelming and reaffirmed the vital role GRIT plays in providing support and safety for those who need it most. It's moments like these that remind us of the profound impact we can make together.
Our founder, Leonora, started this journey with a simple yet powerful vision:
"Two years ago, inspired by a personal loss, I embarked on a journey to co-create an app that could transform safety and security for people who did not have access."
Today, what began as a mission to help a few has grown into a lifeline for thousands. Seeing our app reach and support so many is both humbling and inspiring.
A key element of our mission is that our GRIT app is free for users. By eliminating one of the many barriers to safety and justice, we ensure that anyone, regardless of their financial situation, can access the support they need. However, maintaining and enhancing a high-quality, free service comes with significant costs. This is where we need your help.
We are actively seeking corporate partners/sponsorship who shares our vision of a safer, more supportive world. Your support is crucial to keeping the GRIT app free for users, enhancing its features, increasing accessibility, and providing even more comprehensive support to survivors.
Can you help us ensure more people have access to the safety and support they deserve? Reach out to us at shamryn@grit-gbv.org and become an app partner/sponsor to support our growth!
