Our Story

CiCMED was established in 2019 with a vision to create a new generation of youth, young women, and entrepreneurs. Our activities are targeted at creating and facilitating a variety of programs, cluster events, and services designed according to community interests and needs and incorporating research and analysis.

We are underpinned by principles of social justice, including access, equity, skills, and inclusion. Our programs include special events, advocacy, regular programs and activities, welfare support, and skills development.

Presently, CiCMED is actively operating in Nasarawa State and Abuja FCT with a target for future expansion. We are financed through the support of philanthropic foundations, corporations, and private individuals, as well as through an endowment.

“In a globalized world, anyone wishing to help shape the future for the benefit of present and future generations must adopt an active, visible, and effective role.”
