Centre for Healthcare and Economic Empowerment for Women and Youth (CHCEEWY) is a Non Governmental Organization established in 2012 to respond to the challenges of lack of access to and exclusive participation in governance and atrocity prevention. CHCEEWY has joined other thousands of constructive and meaningful organizations to reconnect the disconnect population of youth and the women to Strengthen Social Platforms for inclusive participatory democracy and Governance in Nigeria.

As a Youth Organization, we equally worked with the Leadership of Youth Associations in Sabon Barki, and Dadin Kowa on a community based Youth Transformative and Peace Advocacy, a 5 month small grant from World Bank Nigeria. This project was based on the initiative and story of the youth in Dadin Kowa that needed to be shared among other violence communities of Geyro, Congo Russia, Bauchi Road, Rukoba, Nasarawa Gwong and Bukuru. Dadin has never experience violence despite its cosmopolitan nature.
