Grace Center consists several large buildings on two and a half acres in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. We meet the physical and spiritual needs of thousands of people needing help. Our buildings, which are instrumental to our mission allow us to accomplish our goals. Grace Center would like to thank our generous partners for the following contributions to our infrastructure and especially Frances Wentges for the initial seed funding that started everything in 2006. There are so many others who have given toward building Grace Center, both volunteer teams and individuals. We cannot thank you enough for all you have done to save the lives of so many.
