Preamble
Grace Empowerment International Inc., hereinafter referred to as GEI, is a non-profit, charitable organization committed to human capital development by empowering youths to reach their God-endowed potentials and becoming socially responsible members of their communities.
The United Nations defined youths as individuals ages 15-24. This group constitutes about 18% of the world’s population. Youths, along with children, make up 40% of the world’s population. Youths have been recognized as part of the most vulnerable populations in different societies, especially in developing countries and the inner cities of developed countries. GEI recognizes youths as the catalysts for the sustainable growth of nations. The United Nations, in its Grace Initiative Program, highlighted that “Young people constitute an invaluable asset that we need to invest in and empower.”
“This corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.”
