I’ve always been inspired by how the Antetokounmpos positively impact communities beyond basketball,” said GEANCO CEO Afam Onyema. “When they expressed their intention to expand their family foundation into Nigeria, we jumped at the chance to collaborate on a center that will greatly benefit the local communities. Partnering with CAFF has been an honor and a delight. I hope our center and the collaboration that made it possible will encourage others to revitalize Nigeria by creating more opportunities for its most disadvantaged and vulnerable citizens.
The GEANCO Community Center embodies a blend of the Foundation’s impactful medical and educational initiatives with CAFF’s dedication to fostering vibrant community spaces. This innovative facility is designed to meet essential needs in the area by providing access to technology, educational resources, extracurricular activities, and more.
The center will feature vital amenities such as a computer lab, a well-stocked library, and sports and music equipment that have been scarce in the region. Additionally, it will offer after-school tutoring, sports programs, and arts classes, serving as a central hub for community gatherings, meetings, and celebrations.
