GEANCO Foundation and Giannis Antetokounmpo Partner to Open Community Center in Nigeria

The GEANCO Foundation, in collaboration with NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation (CAFF), has taken a monumental step towards establishing a long-term impact in Nigeria. The unveiling of their transformative community center in the country signifies a beacon of hope and possibility for the rural poor.

The state-of-the-art facility, funded by Giannis Antetokounmpo and his family’s foundation, aims to provide essential economic support to the underprivileged communities in Nigeria. With a focus on education and health initiatives, the GEANCO Community Center is set to revolutionize the region by offering access to technology, educational resources, and extracurricular activities.

Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed his deep connection to Nigeria, stating, “When I learned that upwards of 20 million children are out of school in Nigeria, I knew I wanted to do something. To see this community center become a reality is truly humbling.” The center is not just a building but a promise of a brighter, more equal, and more educated future for the children in the community.

Lauren Cochlin, Director at CAFF, emphasized the importance of sustainability and total impact in their partnership with GEANCO. The collaboration aims to create a lasting impact on the community, providing a space where children can learn, grow, and dream for decades to come.

The GEANCO Community Center offers a range of resources, including a computer lab, a library, sports equipment, and educational materials. It will also provide after-school tutoring, sports activities, and arts classes, serving as a hub for community gatherings and celebrations.

This groundbreaking initiative symbolizes a merging of GEANCO’s impactful medical and educational initiatives with CAFF’s commitment to fostering thriving communal environments. The center is designed to fill critical gaps in the region, providing much-needed support to the rural poor and offering a sense of hope and possibility for a brighter future.
