MAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE BY GIVING OF YOURS.
Welcome to Decapolis Community Development Center
Decapolis Community Development Center is a community-based development program working in impoverished, rural communities in Nigeria. We target the most vulnerable and empower them - through hands-on training in regenerative agriculture, teaching them how they can feed their family and make a profit on less than 1 hectare of land. Our multi-day trainings for small-scale farmers and community leaders are currently held at our training locations in FCT Abuja and Kogi State. We also do on-site trainings in various communities across the country for local farmers and farmers' cooperatives, with special consideration given to IDP camps, orphanages, and after-care programs for trafficking victims. With over 1,000 small-scale farmers trained in the first year, we are projecting 5,000-10,000 farmers trained in year two.
What We Do
United in Serving Others
AGRICULTURE AND NUTRITION INITIATIVE
Malnutrition is widespread in Nigeria and rural areas are especially vulnerable. This initiative serves as a platform to promote collaboration and design interventions to achieve a vision of agriculture as a driver of food security. We encourage small scale farmers, fishers, and pastoralists to sustainably increase productivity and access markets.
Skills acquisition and COMMUNITY Empowerment
Hands-on skills are increasingly important across all industries and organisations. At Decapolis CDC, we provide vocational training and basic literacy skills. We empower communities to enable them to advance from unemployment to employment, entrepreneurship and innovation by creating sustainable income-generation programs.
Health Access Initiatives
Decapolis Community Development Center is strengthening health systems with community-based capacity building interventions. Our broad expertise enables partnership with communities facing health problems. We link with wider efforts to integrate Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) with nutrition, education, and adaptation to climatic shocks.
Renewable Energy and Climate Change
A shift towards renewable energy, especially for marginalized communities, is key to tackling climate change and ensuring that millions of men and women in rural and impoverished communities are not left out of the new green economies. We embrace and promote smart, affordable and clean energy solutions.
Meet Our Farmers
The vision of Decapolis is to empower small-scale farmers across Nigeria to feed their families, invest in their own communities, and dynamically interrupt the cycle of poverty through the practices of regenerative agriculture and financial stewardship! By offering continued mentorship and encouragement through monitoring and evaluation, we ensure that high standards are maintained for verifiable results! Through your partnership, we can reach our goal of training 10,000 farmers by the end of 2025. You can help to make this happen by clicking here to make a donation to empower a farmer.
