Grace Oviawe Foundation, Benin City, Nigeria, West Africa

Nigeria is full of unexplored potential. Grace Foundation stemmed from the acknowledgement and acute awareness of the possibilities inherent in a blossoming country.

We thus envisioned our role as an interconnecting and strategic agency for communities as they pursue quality education, growth opportunities, and self-actualization, locally, nationally, and globally.

Grace Foundation embraces a holistic approach to promote self-sufficiency and community empowerment of underprivileged and/or low-income families. In fulfillment of our mission, and as a non-profit organization, we commit ourselves to a process we refer to as TAP:

Transformation, Action, and Participation. To this effect, we remain faithful to the following goals:

Promote self-sufficiency and economic stability.

Create and sustain educational and economic development opportunities.

Build community empowerment through capacity-building and leadership development.

Develop vibrant and healthy communities.

Foster cross-cultural collaboration through participatory development.

reetings and welcome to the Grace Oviawe Foundation for Educational and Social Development (a.k.a Grace Foundation) website! Changing socio-economic realities combined with government policy and funding patterns mean that we constantly need to find new ways to address emerging issues and the resulting social service needs in our community.

Grace Foundation aims to be a catalyst in creating strong, healthy and vibrant communities by building partnerships and working with disenfranchised individuals to tap into their innate abilities.

We are deeply committed to addressing our stakeholders’ needs, listening to donors, to supporters, to service providers and to making responsive and informed decisions.
