Christ-centered education for refugees
Restoring dignity through education
We equip Eritrean refugees in East Africa with learning, vocational skills, and trauma-informed care so they can heal, thrive, and lead.
“We are all called to serve—only by His grace and for His glory.”
Our mission
Breaking cycles of poverty and trauma
ByGrace exists to restore dignity, opportunity, and hope to refugee communities by addressing the root causes of displacement through holistic, Christ-centered education. We believe that access to education is not only a basic right but a powerful tool to break cycles of poverty, trauma, and marginalization.
We address the deep gap in education that many refugees face—both from past disruptions and their current realities. Through tailored learning programs, vocational training, and mental health support, we empower refugees to heal, thrive, and become agents of change in their communities and beyond.
Education
Tailored learning programs and computer literacy that close the gaps left by displacement.
Vocational Training
Practical, income-generating skills like woodworking and accounting for long-term independence.
Mental Health
Trauma-informed counseling for young adults carrying the weight of displacement.
What we do
