Poor nutritional status and malnutrition in the elderly population are serious concerns. Malnutrition leads to progressive health declines, reduced physical and cognitive function, and increased mortality rates.
In Ethiopia, malnutrition among older adults is alarmingly high. Many elderly individuals are homeless, live in uninhabitable conditions, or are forced to scavenge for survival. Some resort to pleading for food by going door-to-door.
At Grace Elderly Care International, Inc., our programs are dedicated to improving the well-being of malnourished older adults in Ethiopia, offering them care, dignity, and hope.
VISION
Our vision is to build hope, one elderly person at a time, as we work toward becoming a leading nonprofit in the fight against elderly malnutrition in Ethiopia.
MISSION
Our mission is to provide holistic care that improves the well-being and quality of life for malnourished older adults in Ethiopia.
What We Do

Through our sponsorship program, we provide monthly cash allowances by connecting each elderly individual with compassionate donors.
Repairing inhabitable homes
We partner with local volunteers to repair and improve the unsafe homes of older adults, ensuring they have a safe and dignified place to live.
