Gracefield Foundation was born out of compassion and a deep desire to uplift vulnerable lives. In 2018, founders Bishop Godfrey Okoth and Hellen Nanziri recognized the growing challenges in their community — from school dropouts and early pregnancies to the struggles of orphans, refugees, and women without access to basic needs. Driven by a shared vision, they began offering informal support such as bursaries, food packages, and career guidance to those in need.
In 2018, their dream expanded with the establishment of Gracefield Academy, providing quality nursery and primary education to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. By 2023, Gracefield Foundation was officially registered, strengthening its capacity to advocate, mobilize resources, and implement life-changing programs in Wakiso District and beyond.
Today, Gracefield Foundation stands as a beacon of hope — championing education, health, women and youth empowerment, safe water access, and sustainable community development. Our journey is fueled by the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
