About Us

Nestled in the peaceful Nawfia community of Anambra State, The GEANCO Community Center is a modern facility built to tangibly transform the lives of young adults. We focus on helping them gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in today’s fast-changing world.

Here at the center, we offer programs that teach practical in-demand skills for real-life situations. From capacity development courses to hands-on training in new technologies like robotics and solar power, we give young adults the tools they need to stay ready for the future.

Our goal is simple: to provide a place where young people can grow, learn, and get ready for whatever comes next in their lives.

Significance of the Initiatives

Across underserved communities in Nigeria, young families face significant challenges that hinder their ability to thrive and reach their full potential. One of the most pressing issues is the lack of adequate communal learning opportunities, exacerbated by the absence of community resource centers. Without access to essential resources and support services, individuals and families struggle to overcome socio-economic barriers and break the cycle of poverty.

The establishment of Village Resource Centers by GEANCO addresses this critical gap by providing a multifaceted solution to the challenges faced by young families. By offering a range of programs and services tailored to meet the diverse needs of the community, these centers serve as invaluable hubs for empowerment, education, and social support.

The initiatives implemented within these centers, including after-school programs, library facilities, workforce training, and health workshops, play a crucial role in addressing key issues faced by young families:

Education and Skill Development

The after-school program and library facilities provide children and young adults with access to educational resources, tutoring, and technology, enhancing their academic performance and equipping them with the skills needed for future success in the workforce.

Employability

Workforce training programs empower young adults with marketable skills and vocational training, enhancing their employability and economic prospects, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty and dependency.

Recreation and Social Development

The provision of indoor games and recreational activities fosters social interaction, creativity, and physical well-being among children, contributing to their overall development and resilience.

Health and Well-being

Community and family health workshops provide essential information and resources to young parents, promoting maternal and child health, preventive care, and overall well-being within the community.
