Dupe Makinde

Dupe Makinde is the visionary and the Chief Executive Officer of God's Grace Foundation.  One of the first major assignments that Dupe undertook was a successful fact finding mission to Nigeria in January 2005. The trip involved visiting orphanages and schools in the western region of Nigeria. As a result of her visit and through the generous support of a small number of sponsors, GGF commenced the sponsorship of 13 children in September 2005; we are currently supporting 30 children. Support includes paying tuition fees for the year, paying for all school supplies (books, stationery, school uniform), regular medical care, mentoring and providing a cooked meal a day for each child.

As more kind-hearted people give towards the work of the Foundation, more needy children in Nigeria will be reached. Our goal is for the sponsorship programme to be extended to other African countries in the coming years. The programme for the United Kingdom is to encourage young people to create positive, attention-grabbing futures, challenging and motivating them to believe in themselves; aim high in school/college, work or leisure; develop social skills; manage adolescence and chose healthier lifestyles.

Dupe's professional background is in Finance and she is a part-qualified management accountant.

Dupe's passion to empower children and give children and young people the opportunity to succeed in life is evident in her daily interactions, networking and personal development. She is committed to seeking God, continuous research and information gathering on all areas of children support to shape and deliver GGF's goals.

Dupe is married with 2 children.
