Message from the Founder and Programs Director

Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you to a home away from home; I have been privileged to see CEWAYE grow from just an idea to a home.It all started when three young people with similar life experiences that included loss of loved ones at an early age, missing education, missing the basic needs and inability to afford food, health care, and shelter.

This did not stop us from hoping for the best. Our dream was to have a home where every vulnerable women, youth and children can access basic skill to navigate through and overcome most pressing challenges.

It began as a mere evening meeting, donation drive benefiting five (5) vulnerable women and their children. It’s unbelievable that the then idea is a home to over 25000 women, youth and children from marginalized communities. LONGLIVE CEWAYE.

I like to thank both local and international partners that have believed in our vision and combined their moneys, resources, and time to ensure CEWAYE’S mission and Vision is achieved. We hope to keep exploring heights until every woman and Youth is confident and empowered to support their families and overcome the daily pressing challenges.
