About Us
History
Our story evolves in protects vulnerable individual's rights, provides education, healthcare, and a voice.
Started in 2018, the organization became legalized in 2023. Graceland Hub was founded by a group of medical doctors, gender specialists, social workers, nurses, community relay agents, and agronomists concerned with the plight of rural people, especially those in hard-to-reach areas and those rendered vulnerable. These include but are not limited to, minority groups such as widows, displaced women and their families, school drop-outs, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), LGBT communities, as well as HIV and AIDS-infected and affected persons who are all primary beneficiaries of our programs. We are officially registered in the USA and Canada and are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.
The organization was born in response to the widespread HIV epidemic, the outbreak of the crisis in Cameroon, and the constant marginalization of minorities and LGBTQ communities in most African countries, particularly among rural communities that were left unattended. The pioneer group of social workers, agricultural experts, doctors, nurses, and other well-wishers decided to focus on serving the rural populations with information about the virus and on how to build up immune systems with natural recipes.
We quickly became interested in not only serving those rendered vulnerable but advocating for them and raising our voices to denounce the injustices people living with HIV were suffering in our Country. We’ve never stopped advocating since then. Experiencing that the HIV pandemic was unevenly affecting women, with other specific challenges such as gender-based violence, gender inequality, property expropriation, and little access to leadership positions, the organization broadened its focus and included aspects of Gender, human rights, and governance. This saw the birth of the second department within the organization – Gender and Capacity Building, later renamed Human Rights and Governance. While carrying out activities in the Human Rights and Governance Department, we realized that our sensitization and capacity-building efforts required a third leg to economically empower the most marginalized groups, especially women and girls. Thus, the Economic Security Department was born to take care of the economic empowerment of women and underprivileged groups. Today, these three departments have separate focus on interconnected issues and work in synergy to bring the best impact to communities all over Cameroon, Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and North-Eastern Nigeria.
Our goals and aspirations are to ensure we live in a safe environment and ensure the lives of vulnerable individuals in the USA, Canada, and Cameroon are considered. We work with children, seniors, and other vulnerable individuals to elevate their standard of living through education and other programs that will positively impact the lives of vulnerable individuals.
