Educate 40 OVC in 2 -year colleges or universities.

Since 2010 with support from the Open Society Institute (OSI), G.R.A.C.E. has implemented a program aimed at promoting access to legal and social justice by vulnerable women, children and People Living With HIV and AIDS (PLWHAS).

G.R.A.C.E. is among four (4) local organisations that have been collectively funded by European Union to implement a 3 year program to reduce maternal mortality by two thirds and child mortality by three quarters in Samburu County - Kenya.

Specifically, the role of G.R.A.C.E. in the project is to strengthen economic empowerment activities with a view of helping 5,000 households in the county improve their household incomes. Increased household income will improve nutrition, access to maternal and child health services, education, shelter and general quality of life for the community members.

G.R.A.C.E. has a ten acre farm in Nanyuki district, Mt. Kenya region. The farm is used as a demonstration and training unit for poor and small scale farmers in the region on innovative agricultural practices. Over the last twelve years, the farm has significantly improved the livelihood of small scale farmers in the region by providing them with skills, information and agricultural inputs to engage in fish farming, bee keeping, drip irrigation, poultry keeping and dairy goat keeping. In crop farming the farmers have been trained to undertake crop rotation, grow pigeon peas, beetroot, cabbages, kales and improved types of maize and beans. Revenues generated from the sale of farm produce have partly sustained its operations with the rest supporting families heavily affected by HIV/AIDS in the location.
