On October 7th, 2024, we invite you to join us for a momentous occasion – Grace Agbonlahor Memorial Day, commemorating ten years since the passing of a truly remarkable woman whose legacy continues to inspire change. Madam Grace Agbonlahor was more than just a market trader and mother; she was a pillar of her community, known for her unwavering resilience, generosity, and belief in the power of education and opportunity. Her life was a testament to the strength and determination of Nigerian women, and today, her story continues to uplift those around her.
This Memorial Day not only celebrates her life and the values she held dear but also marks the official launch of the Grace Agbonlahor Foundation (GAF). Established in her memory, the foundation is dedicated to empowering women and girls in Nigeria through transformative programs in education, entrepreneurship, and advocacy. With the same determination that defined Grace’s life, the foundation is working to break the cycle of poverty and create opportunities for women and girls to thrive as confident, capable leaders.
At this event, we will reflect on the extraordinary journey of Grace Agbonlahor, unveil the foundation’s vision for a brighter future, and introduce our key initiatives, including the Girls in Career Boost (GCB) Program, which opens doors for young girls in STEM, and the MarketCare Program, which supports market women with vital resources, financial literacy, and healthcare access.
This event is not just a tribute; it’s a call to action. We invite you to stand with us as we continue the work Grace started, empowering the next generation of women and girls to rise above challenges and create lasting change. Together, we can build on Grace’s legacy and inspire hope for a more equitable and prosperous future for all.
