In 2013, Mama Grace who is the backbone and founder of the organization, took it upon herself to help a small group of orphans who needed food to eat and clothes to wear. Months later, this group grew rapidly, and it is then that her kids started to assist her as she needed more hands. Super markets were then approached for donations (groceries). In 2017, Grace Nations NPO was formally registered and already feeds about 4 different areas in Pietermaritzburg ie: Imbali, Slenge, Nyamazane and France.

Which Cause achievement are you most proud of? Feel free to elaborate on why and include any links:

We are proud that over 200 people (our beneficiaries) do not go to sleep on an empty stomach. Because we make sure that we knock until we get help so that they will have food on their tables.

We are proud that we have hosted 2 trainings where the main purpose is to enhance skills of our beneficiaries so they will stand a better chance to get employment.
