WeVDO

About Us

The idea for the formation of West ventures Development Organization was conceived in the year 2019 as a church youth group known as Good shepherd Youth Group(GSYG) and the actual implementation of this idea ensued in the year 2020 following the meeting of some of the youths who are now the leaders of this CBO with some stakeholders who were willing to offer both financial support for the running of the organization and intellectual support to help the youth manage the CBO in a professional and skillful way possible. Our organization is situated at Good Shepherd Parish. The stakeholders included some leaders from the community who supported the organization by guiding the management of the Organization on various aspects pertaining to the formation and formalization of the organization. Financial support was first offered by Xavier project in partnership with GIZ. WeVDO engages various community activities that include but not limited to: • Basic ICT and Life Skills trainings • mentorship programs • youth empowerment • charity works • Identification of clients • General support
