Who We Are

Vision & Mission

Rooted in Christ's ministry to women, our work is simple in purpose and deep in impact.

Our Vision

Providing shelter, material and spiritual resources for female survivors of domestic violence, based on Christ's ministry to women.

Our Mission

Using the Bible as the foundation for trauma care and a survivor-centered approach, we bring healing and purpose to female survivors of domestic violence so they can live fulfilled lives. Our services include vocational and craft training, psycho-social support, Word-based group therapy sessions, and mentoring.

"Transforming lives, one woman at a time, in a homely environment."

Why We Exist

Our Purpose

Grace's Place Shelter exists to interrupt the cycle of domestic violence in the lives of Nigerian women and their children — replacing fear with safety, silence with support, and survival with a future. We open our doors, and our hearts, so that every woman who walks through them leaves not just sheltered, but restored: equipped in skill, sound in mind, and secure in her God-given worth.

Our Foundation

What the Bible Says

Scripture is clear: God stands with the broken-hearted and calls His people to defend the vulnerable.

"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." Psalm 34:18 (KJV)
"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 (KJV)
"Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow." Isaiah 1:17 (KJV)
"Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction... plead the cause of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:8–9 (KJV)
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1 (KJV)
"The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." Psalm 9:9 (NIV)
Training Programmes

Skills that rebuild independence

We equip every survivor with practical, income-generating skills alongside spiritual and emotional care.

Vocational Training

In-house small-scale vocational training equips survivors with practical skills to generate their own income.

Weekly Arts & Crafts Day

A weekly arts and crafts programme builds small, sellable skills — and gives space for creativity and joy to return.

One-on-One Mentoring

Every survivor is paired with a personal mentor to sharpen life skills and pursue her God-given goals.

Our Story

How Grace's Place began

A story rooted in one conviction — that no woman fleeing violence should ever have nowhere safe to go.

A Calling, Answered

Grace's Place Shelter began with a quiet act of faith: opening a home to the first women who needed one. That conviction grew into a structured ministry built on Christ's example of compassion for the broken-hearted.

Building a Complete Path to Healing

Shelter alone grew into something fuller — vocational training, a weekly arts and crafts day, one-on-one mentoring, and Word-based group therapy, forming a complete, survivor-centered path from crisis to independence.

2024 · National Recognition
