Our Story & Purpose

Who we are

Founded by Grace Ministry was founded by Tendai Togara for the purpose of creating a platform to develop female leaders who would know their God-given purpose and walk worthy of their calling.

Called. Chosen. Committed.

Our Story

In 2003, a vision was placed in Tendai Togara's heart while in Zimbabwe — that women needed a space not just to gather, but to be truly equipped. She and her husband migrated to Australia carrying that seed, and what was once a small act of obedient faith has blossomed into a movement that now spans continents.

Gracious Women is not just an organisation. It is a platform — intentionally built to develop female leaders who are rooted in identity, grounded in faith, and courageous enough to influence every room they walk into.

"We were never just creating a programme. We were building a home for women to come back to themselves."

What We Stand For

Our Three Pillars

Everything we do is rooted in faith, community, and transformation, so every woman can step boldly into her calling.

Our Mission


To equip and empower women at the forefront of family and community, so they become gracious stewards of God's vision for their lives and the lives of others.

What We Believe


We believe in the Holy Scripture, the shed blood of Jesus, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Faith is not a footnote, it is our foundation.

Why Gracious Women?


To discover the unique potential God has placed in you — and to live as a powerful woman of influence for His kingdom, wherever you are in the world.
