About Us
OUR HISTORY
Established in November 2021, Grace Elderly Care International, Inc. (GECI) was founded in response to the alarming rates of malnutrition among Ethiopia’s elderly population. Many older individuals face homelessness, uninhabitable living conditions, and food insecurity. Some are compelled to go door-to-door pleading for food. Recognizing these challenges, GECI is committed to offering care, dignity, and hope to Ethiopia’s most vulnerable elderly citizens.
