Building Capacity - Visit to ICOY and Geodora Samaritans

Makuo Nkwo, program manager at the Owerri Digital Village, visited 2 NGO’s; Geodora Samaritans and International Community of Youths (ICOY) offices in Owerri Nigeria, to learn more about their work.

Makuo stated, “During the discussion, I was made to understand that the organization has existed in Owerri over 7 years ago and has been involved with youth and women empowerment, community development and wealth creation programs and initiatives”.

Makuo Nkwo was able to let them know about Owerri Digital Village programs, activities and how much YTF wants to contribute to the development of young people using Information and Communication Technology tools and methods. Makuo invited them to call on YTF whenever they need its input or support.

Meanwhile, the organization recently hosted the World Bank youth seminar for Imo State in February 2008. About 50 youth were in attendance and the seminar was meant to engage youth and empower them in the resolution to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by the year 2015.
