About GAM Day
The Grace Agbonlahor Memorial (GAM) Day is held every year on October 7th to honour the life and legacy of Madam Grace Agbonlahor. A resilient market woman, Madam Grace overcame countless challenges with determination and courage. Her story embodies the strength and resilience of Nigerian women who sacrifice daily for their families and communities.
GAM Day is more than a remembrance — it is a call to action. On this day, we commit ourselves to continuing her legacy through the Grace Agbonlahor Foundation’s mission: empowering women and girls through education, entrepreneurship, and advocacy.
