Founded in Loving Memory of Grace Nwaele

Living Grace Foundation was established to carry on the legacy of Grace Nwaele, a woman of great compassion who devoted herself to caring for orphans, widows, and the less privileged. Grace lived a short but deeply fruitful life and passed away in post-war Nigeria from a preventable disease. Her death in a resource-scarce, remote part of Nigeria inspired her son to pursue a medical career and ultimately found this organization, so that others would receive the care she never had.

“Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.”

Booker T. Washington
