Grace Kennett Foundation is a non-governmental organization with a glorious 80-year history. Our work has saved the lives of a thousand victims of female infanticide and abandoned children.
A thousand happy families have been built through adoption. If you need to have a garden, dig a well first. Our well is our hospital and our allied services. We address the physical, mental, and social well being of the community and raise resources to pursue our lofty objectives.
