The GracedLife Leadership Centre is a nonprofit that holds leadership and entrepreneurship together. We exist so that both are within reach of every young African.

In March 2018 we held our first meeting at the University of Ghana, Legon. Since 2022 we have also trained entrepreneurs through LIFT Ghana with UBC’s Sauder School of Business.

Our visionA network of principled, change-driven servant leaders pioneering Africa’s development and transformation.
Our missionTo raise leaders, reorient mindsets, inspire change, and develop a culture of selflessness and integrity among young Africans.
