About

Description
Grassroots Future is a registered charity in Hong Kong which came out of a desire to help refugee-led initiatives and grassroots organizations working with refugees build capacity. Grassroots Future started out as Table of Two Cities (TOTC) in 2016, a grassroots storytelling initiative to showcase refugee narratives through the medium of food. We have held community events around Hong Kong, united by food, the greatest social equaliser. Through our interaction with the members, we recognize the immediate and practical needs of the refugee community that need to be met, but there is also a great yearning to live a self-sufficient, dignified and purposeful life. We believe that: - Everybody deserves to live with dignity and purpose. - We can all contribute to a more sustainable world in different capacities. - More thoughtful and interesting interactions between refugees and non-refugees can enhance mutual understanding and enrich our city. - We can create a platform and support undiscovered talents to develop their skills to become self-reliant and create an inclusive environment where we can collectively innovate solutions for our society. Grassroots Future represents the expansion of this original idea into a holistic organization. We believe in using collective action at the local level to effect change and engage refugee-led initiatives to drive forward and innovate solutions together.
