About Gracie’s Heart Health Foundation
Empowering Africa for a Healthier, Heart-Conscious Future
Gracie’s Heart Health Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving heart and respiratory health across Nigeria and Africa.
Founded in memory of Madam Grace Oluwatoyin Agunlejika, a loving mother who lost her life to a heart attack, the foundation carries forward her legacy by creating awareness, providing access to medical care, and supporting individuals living with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
We believe that every heartbeat matters. Through our initiatives, we aim to empower communities with the knowledge, resources, and medical support needed to prevent, manage, and treat conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, heart failure, asthma, lung cancer, and other respiratory challenges.
