Grace Agbonlahor Foundation UK is a UK-registered charity working to expand opportunities for women and girls in Nigeria through education, health, livelihoods, digital learning, research and advocacy.

Established in honour of Madam Grace Agbonlahor, the Foundation builds on a legacy of resilience, enterprise and community leadership. Our ambition is to combine practical, locally led programmes with strong governance, evidence and partnerships that can support sustainable and measurable impact.

GAF UK works in partnership with Grace Agbonlahor Foundation Nigeria, which leads programme delivery and community engagement locally. The UK charity provides strategic governance, fundraising, partnership development, grant-making and oversight, creating a structure that combines UK charity governance with locally informed implementation.

Our current portfolio includes IgniteHer, which supports young women to access digital learning and career development opportunities; MarketCare, which focuses on the health and economic wellbeing of market women; Thrive100, which supports women and widows to strengthen their livelihoods; and ThriveIndex, our evidence and research initiative focused on identifying and responding to barriers affecting girls.

As GAF UK enters its next stage of development, we are strengthening our Board and wider governance arrangements to support sustainable growth, broaden our partnerships and ensure that the organisation continues to operate to high standards of accountability, safeguarding and impact.
