Toward the root. Evidence from the ground up.
Toward the root. Evidence from the ground up.
We begin with the people. We recognize wisdom where it lives.
Rootwards Global is a research and advisory organisation working from the ground up to understand and transform systems affecting marginalized communities. We bring Indigenous knowledge, evidence-based inquiry, and context-sensitive methods to address root causes—not symptoms—of exclusion, inequality, and environmental vulnerability.
Our work centers communities as origin, knowledge holders, and co-creators of solutions, ensuring that change grows from the root rather than being imposed from above.

Communities are partners.
We design solutions with those they affect. We work with—not on—communities. Communities are our partners, not subjects.
Rooted in realities.
Rooted in realities.
We start with lived realities, not assumptions. Our research is careful, ethical, and transparent, because insight must respect its source.
Experience with purpose.
Experience with purpose.
Our team brings years of experience across contexts. We are results-driven, but never at the expense of ethics, care, or community.
