  • Founder:

    • Grace Fongod was born in Nyassoso on October 9th, 1969, but she grew up in Bali, Nyonga. Grace has always been a cheerful giver. When she was young, she gave peanuts to soldiers who had come because there was a conflict in her village. When she was three years old, she carried firewood for her grandmother who was blind and she had to trek two kilometers just to get the firewood for her grandmother.

      Grace has always had a love for knowledge. When she was four, Grace would follow her siblings to school and she snuck into the classroom. Grace transferred to P.S. Nkambe, then she came back to P.S. Njenka in 1981. She attended P.S.S. Mankon and graduated in 1986. Grace attended the Cameroon College of Arts, Science, and Technology during her high school years. She attended the University of Yaounde and majored in English Private Law.

      In 1998, Grace migrated to the United States and switched career paths to nursing which further fueled her passion for giving. Grace later became an entrepreneur and she owns multiple businesses and her passion for giving continued to grow. Her first project was a water project in 2019 and she plans to create more projects in the future.
