OUR STORY

Enable Forgotten Children, EFC, is a non-profit organization founded by Grace.
Grace was a teacher in Joytown, Kenya a school for children with physical disabilities. There she saw the need of helping the children with multiple and severe disabilities who were not accepted. She went to the USA for further studies. During her time in the US she started a center for the children in Murang’a, Kenya. In 2018 she heard a nudge from God to go back to Kenya to grow the work. In 2019 she took an early retirement and moved back to Kenya. EFC was born and we now have three Centers.
