Home | The House of Love Inc.

The journey of the house of love Inc. began With the resilience of its founder, Lovetie Gbalazeh, who emerged from an unhealthy relationship in 2019 only to find herself having to start over. Despite the challenges she faced, Lovetie's spirit remained unbroken, fueled by her unwavering determination to create a better life for herself and her children. Lovetie never lost her compassion and determination to make a difference. Through working as a crisis consultant, doing community outreach and volunteering, Lovetie found solace in working with youth and adults , especially years later working in a afterschool programs at where she cooked for the kids. As she spent more time with the children, particularly the girls who confided in her about their lives, Lovetie discovered her true calling: to mentor and support young girls facing similar challenges. But her vision didn't stop there. She wanted to provide comprehensive assistance to families in need, offering not just mentorship but also practical support to combat poverty and homelessness. Driven by her own experiences as a single mother of three boys, and with her parents living far away in Africa, Lovetie knew firsthand the struggles of raising a family alone. Yet, she refused to let her circumstances define her. Overcoming hardship fueled her desire to uplift others facing similar hardships, inspiring her to establish The house of Love Inc.
