Educate. Empower. Transform. 

The Gweimen Centre in Kwoi, Nigeria currently operates several programs providing assistance to widows, orphans, and vulnerable children.

Vocational Training for Widows

The Gweimen Centre seeks to help develop self-sufficiency through vocational training.  Current training programs include gaining skills in Tailoring, Knitting, Baking, Perfume making, and Soap-making.  Graduates of the vocational training program receive a tool related to the skill they specialized in to help them start an income-generating business.  Recent graduates of the program received a sewing machine, a knitting machine, or a locally made oven that uses charcoal to bake bread.

Aid for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs)

• Feed approximately 100 children lunch on a daily basis
• Provide school fees and educational programming for OVC's
• Offer children transportation to the Centre
• Over 500 children receive some form of assistance from the Gweimen Centre

​HIV/AIDS Educational Campaigns and Community Outreach

Gweimen Centre staff regularly engage in community outreach, including participating in health education programs, community HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns, visiting to local districts to discuss conflict resolution, hosting football matches to educate people about HIV/AIDS, and collaborating with local schools.
