"Whatever you did for the least of my brethren, you did for me." - Matthew 25:40

Over the past 5 years, CYEE has conducted a medical outreach that benefited 2000 people within Ure-offong Oruko Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

In 2024, CYEE sponsored a Back to School Program, providing books, pens, pencils, rulers, and other school items to about 350 children.

This year, we plan to reach out to market women and widows struggling to make ends meet and empower them in their trade. Please help us to empower these women and put a smile on their faces.

Thank you.

Subject: Compassionate Request for a Loan Assistance of ₦2,000,000

Dear Sir,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing with a humble and heartfelt appeal for financial assistance in the form of a loan of ₦2,000,000. This request is borne out of a dire and urgent situation — the septic tank and soaker well of my home have completely collapsed, posing a serious threat to the structural foundation of the building and the safety of those who live in it.
This unfortunate damage has left me in deep distress, and I am unable to raise the needed funds on my own. I am reaching out with the hope that you would kindly consider my plea and support me through this difficult time.
I make a solemn commitment to repay the loan in monthly installments of ₦100,000 until the full amount is cleared. I am determined to uphold this responsibility with diligence and integrity.
Please, I sincerely ask for your kind and compassionate consideration of this request. Your support would bring much-needed relief and restore hope in this trying moment.

Yours faithfully,
Gertrude O. Ephrai.

The Community Youth Education & Empowerment, Inc. (CYEE), in collaboration with Ima-Bridge Africa, has once again made a powerful impact through its 5th Free Medical Outreach*held in *Eyokwong, Akwa Ibom State. This life-saving mission touched the lives of over 200,000 people, offering critical healthcare services to children, the elderly, and vulnerable families who have little or no access to medical care.
From diagnosis to treatment, surgeries to drug administration, this outreach provided *free medical aid, rekindling hope for many who had long battled preventable and treatable conditions. Beyond medical care, the program also extended food support and educational grants, ensuring that families walked away not just with healing, but also with a renewed sense of dignity and possibility.
As we celebrate this milestone, CYEE is calling on well-meaning individuals, organizations, and the global community* to join hands in sustaining and expanding this noble work. Your donations can go a long way in:

• Providing medical supplies and equipment for future outreaches.
• Supporting educational grants for underprivileged youth.
• Feeding the elderly, widows, and displaced families.
• Reaching more underserved communities in Nigeria and beyond.

Together, we can build a healthier, more educated, and empowered society—one community at a time.
Partner with CYEE today. Donate hope. Donate healing.

We're excited to announce the completion of a state-of-the-art Agro Processing Mill, generously donated to MMA Theresa's Farm. This cutting-edge facility is designed to process a variety of agro products, including:

• Cassava
• Melon
• Millet
• Corn
• Beans

This mill will significantly enhance the farm's productivity and efficiency, contributing to improved food processing and economic growth. The mill is also designed to be a training facility for the vulnerable in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

Community Youth Education and Empowerment (CYEE): A Humanitarian Initiative for Change

Community Youth Education and Empowerment (CYEE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by underprivileged children and youth in underserved communities. Through targeted initiatives focused on education, skill development, and resource provision, CYEE works to create opportunities that foster personal and community growth. One of its recent impactful projects was the donation of school supplies to underprivileged children at St. Francis Parish, Eyokwong, in Oruko, Urueoffong/Oruko Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, on the 1st January, 2025. This initiative not only highlights CYEE's commitment to making a difference but also serves as a call to action for potential donors to support its ongoing and future projects.

Addressing Educational Inequality

Education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty, yet many children in marginalized communities lack access to basic educational resources. CYEE's recent outreach to St. Francis Parish, Eyokwong, was driven by the urgent need to bridge this gap. The organization provided essential school supplies, including textbooks, notebooks, writing materials, and other educational tools, to children who might otherwise struggle to participate fully in their education. The choice of Eyokwong was deliberate, as the community's children face significant barriers to accessing quality education. Many families in this area live below the poverty line and cannot afford basic school materials. By equipping these children with the tools they need, CYEE has not only alleviated an immediate burden but also inspired hope and motivation for a brighter future.

Empowering the Next Generation

CYEE firmly believes that empowering youth through education is key to fostering sustainable development. The donation at St. Francis Parish is just one example of how the organization seeks to invest in the potential of young people. When children have access to education, they are better positioned to contribute meaningfully to their communities and break free from the cycle of poverty. This project is part of a broader vision to empower youths by addressing systemic challenges that hinder their development. CYEE's programs are designed to provide not just educational resources but also mentorship, vocational training, and other critical support systems that prepare young people to succeed in life.

A Call to Action: Partnering for Greater Impact

The success of initiatives like the Eyokwong outreach depends heavily on the support of generous donors and partners who share CYEE's vision. The organization's work is fueled by the belief that collective efforts can lead to transformative change. Potential donors are invited to join this mission by contributing resources that enable CYEE to expand its reach and impact. Funds and resources donated to CYEE are directly channeled into projects that address pressing needs in education and youth empowerment. Beyond providing school supplies, CYEE's initiatives include scholarships, teacher training programs, infrastructure development for schools, and community workshops aimed at raising awareness about the importance of education.

Creating a Ripple Effect

When a child is educated, the benefits extend beyond the individual to their family, community, and society at large. CYEE's efforts in Eyokwong have already begun to create this ripple effect, as children equipped with school supplies are now better prepared to engage in their studies and pursue their dreams. However, the journey is far from over. There are countless other communities like Eyokwong that still lack access to basic educational resources. With the support of compassionate individuals, corporate sponsors, and other stakeholders, CYEE can scale its initiatives and continue to transform lives.

Join the Movement

CYEE is more than just an organization; it is a movement dedicated to unlocking the potential of youth through education and empowerment. By partnering with CYEE, donors have the opportunity to be part of a meaningful cause that delivers tangible results. The children at St. Francis Parish, Eyokwong, now have a renewed sense of hope, thanks to the generosity of those who supported this project. Imagine the possibilities if more people joined hands to support similar initiatives. Together, we can ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. Join CYEE today and help us build a brighter future for all.

We organized free medical outreach to the people of the area, Eyokwong Community. There are so many people who have never seen a doctor regardless of their ailments, so CYEE partnered with Ima Bridge Africa, based in the United States to bring free medical outreach to the people.

Over 1,000 people from the community and environs showed up and only 800 were attended to by the medical personnel.

Children were dewormed, reading glasses were given to those who couldn't read, many with blood pressure problems were attended to by doctors and medication/advice given on how to manage their ailments.

CYEE also fed those who came out for the outreach.

St. Michael the Archangel Devotion center was erected to immortalize Chief Cathecist Michael Inwang and his wife, Mrs. Theresa Inwang.
The center is open to everybody of every denomination for prayer, reflection, medication, and for some private time for their affairs with God.

The Rectory is the place in which the ministers who will reside within the church will be accomodated to be near to the people and administer to them easily.

We've established the Food House, a poultry farm and a pig sty with an aim to empower the young people by offering them employment opportunities and means of livelihood.

The Parish Church at St. Francis where the people come to worship. It will also serve as a temporary Nursery/head start building.
