Honoring Our Founding President, Greg

It is with deep sadness and profound gratitude that we honor the life of Greg, the first President and a founding leader of GRACE Project.

Greg was there from the very beginning — when GRACE was still just an idea and a shared vision to serve vulnerable children in Kenya. At a time when the organization existed only as a dream, he stepped forward without hesitation. Though he held a full-time professional role, Greg volunteered to lead this new and untested initiative, believing deeply in its mission.

He brought discipline, structure, and years of project management experience to help transform vision into reality. His steady leadership ensured that GRACE was built on strong foundations — thoughtful planning, accountability, and a commitment to long-term impact.

During his tenure as President, GRACE grew from concept to action. The organization established a school for vulnerable children in Kenya and expanded supportive services designed to help each child achieve their full potential. What began as an idea became a living institution serving children and families every day.

Greg served quietly and faithfully, never seeking recognition, only impact. His legacy lives on in every classroom, every lesson, and every child whose life has been touched by GRACE.

On behalf of our board, students, families, partners, and supporters, we are deeply grateful for his leadership and his belief in this mission.

We honor him by continuing the work he helped begin.
