Our Mission
GraceLand is dedicated to empowering children with disabilities by providing support, resources, and opportunities to help them thrive and lead a fulfilled life. Our mission is to create an inclusive community where every child is embraced for their unique abilities.
Our Vision
GraceLand envisions a future where children with disabilities are embraced by their communities, have access to the necessary resources and support, and can pursue their dreams without barriers through understanding, acceptance and empowerment.
Who We Are
GraceLand Child Care Centre is a non-governmental organisation located in Lilongwe, established to provide support and care to special needs children and their mothers.
Established in 2020, we are supported by volunteers who provide their time, skills and resources for the daily operation of the centre. Currently, GraceLand Child Care Centre provides spiritual and psychosocial support, therapies, education and advocacy.
We intend to add general day care to allow mothers to do other economic activities, giving them the freedom and support to build sustainable livelihoods while knowing their children are in caring, capable hands.
