As a people-centric, non-profit organization, CYEE has consistently demonstrated its dedication over the years to empowering individuals and fostering growth in the community.

In December 2025, CYEE launched a transformative program aimed at supporting struggling market women and widows, providing them with the necessary tools to revive and sustain their businesses. This noble endeavor engaged the support of kind-hearted sponsors and stakeholders, who rallied behind the cause, recognizing the immense benefits it would bring to the community. After completing the need assessment in December 2025, the project was held on the 15th, of January 2026 and St. Francis Parish Eyo-Okwong, in Urueoffong oruko LGA of Akwa Ibom State.

The program yielded remarkable results, with over 103 individuals benefiting from a ₦100,000 Naira empowerment grant each, carefully selected to support their entrepreneurial endeavors. Furthermore, widows, who often bear the weight of immense responsibility, were also recipients of this generous support, receiving ₦100,000 each to alleviate their struggles and rekindle hope.

The impact of this initiative was palpable, with the injection of ₦14 million plus into the local economy, breathing new life into the businesses and households of these resilient women. As a result, the community is now abuzz with renewed hope, joy, and celebration, as the beneficiaries look forward to a brighter future, empowered by the kindness and generosity of CYEE and its partners.
