About us
Who we are
TAM is a Youth and Women focused faith based organization with the mandate restore hopes, enkindle transformation and raise a new generation of passionate people who will establish Gods purpose and engineer positive changes in every facet of life through the various expressions/arms of the ministry.
TAM (a.k.a The Graced Network International) started as Jesus League (an interdenominational children and teenagers ministry) in 2010, and the name changed to The Graced Network in 2018 with the specific instruction to go after the “broken”. Hence our slogan “Transforming lives, Raising Warriors”.
This work of Grace which started then in Oyo Town had “the broken” youths and women as our primary audience.
We have since remained focused on the match ever since!

The vision for Charis Program was launched in 2013 after Founder and President, Atinuke Akinlawon worked as a volunteer at a rehabilitation facility for 3 months. She realized that true transformation will never come through imparting head knowledge only but through a heart work by the Holy Spirit!
Atinuke started Charis Program as a counseling/Drop in center at Shalom House Joyce B, Ibadan. Charis program helps young women and men ages 12-32 break free from life controlling issues and situations, including anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, eating disorders, self harm, addictions, unplanned pregnancy, and sex trafficking.
In March 2022, after seeing many lives transformed in the residential program, Charis decided that it was time to adapt its highly successful counseling model into a 12 weeks discipleship resource so men and women of all ages, at any point in their walk with the Lord, could find new levels of freedom and healing in Christ.
Our outreach services also train and resource men and women to effectively support and minister to those who are hurting and struggling through workshops, videos , podcasts, and other practical resources. Our goal is to share the life transforming principles used in our residential program to empower men and women of all ages to live in freedom.
T.A.M is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria with registration number CAC/IT/NO 61653. We are registered with the Oyo State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Inclusion as well as the Ministry of Education. We belong to Child Protection Network (CPN), Association of Women Orientations for Sustainable Development in Nigeria (AWON) and Oyo State Community Chest Council.
