Motivated Statement








Mr. Tarnue H. Cooper

Executive Director



   Development engenders positive transformation in any given situation the world over. As we learned from developed nations’ activities, the wellbeing of the people, basic social services, infrastructure and etc. are key responsibilities of national governments and people. Development comes to realization base on the vision, determination and practical steps to towards a particular activity.

In all of Graceland’s activities emphasis is placed on human capacity building, this will in itself widen the opportunity for others to contribute to development. Graceland being a national organization based in Liberia is open and willing to partnership with donor organizations and philanthropists to impact and touch the lives of people.  The establishment of Graceland was based on voluntary services and cash contribution from founders to initiate micro-programs in some communities. I am of the strongest conviction that greater things will occur to ignite development in Liberia and other developing countries.

As a result of the determination, farsightedness and hard work exhibited by Graceland, the organization got attracted by USAID/DAI programs, United Nations Quick Impact Program, Plan international-LIBERIA program, the Government of Liberia and others. The splendid performance of Graceland on the USAID/DAI Program extended its activities and also seconded few of Graceland staff members to build capacity of another organization.

Graceland was honored in 2012 by the AFRICA WATCH, a media institution as the Most Outstanding Organization. Graceland is ever will and prepared to partnership and implement programs that will engender development for transformation.
