Our Story ​

Who we are
​​We are a self-sufficiency Centre for women and orphans affected by HIV/AIDS. Gweimen, in the Nigerian language of Jaba, literally means peace and tranquility, shalom, a place of safety and welcome.

The Gweimen Centre resulted from the efforts of a community to provide for the needs of the most vulnerable populations in the path of the AIDS pandemic sweeping Africa: widows and orphans.

​The Gweimen Centre was incorporated in March 2006.

​The Gweimen Centre has supported families through food distribution, medical outreaches, education, scholarships and other services in the communities.
