Grace has worked with a wide range of community based organisations and Non – governmental organisations. She has coordinated lobby and advocacy programmes for housing networks and facilitated linkages with other service providers in an effort to contribute towards equitable access to housing, land and social amenities by the vulnerable and marginalized groups in Zambia.
