How We Started
The Caywood Brown Foundation was established in 2006 by Dr. Ipalibo Harry Banigo in honor of her late father, Caywood Brown, whose life of compassion, discipline, and community service continues to guide every initiative we undertake. What began as small volunteer-led community tutoring and medical outreaches in Port Harcourt has grown into an enduring institutional force, empowering over 15,000 individuals across 48 communities.

Every program we run leaves behind a trail of transformation. Hear beneficiaries and alumni share firsthand how the Caywood Brown Foundation has restored hope and opened doors.
“For years, I was a full-time young housewife. When I eventually stepped into the workforce as an office assistant, I quickly realized that my lack of computer skills was holding me back. The cost of commercial classes was out of reach on my modest salary. Just when I was about to give up, a concerned friend told me about the free computer appreciation training at Caywood Brown Foundation. With hesitation and hope, I walked through their doors in Port Harcourt. What I found was not just a training program, but a lifeline. Today, my work output has dramatically improved, my confidence soared, my boss took notice — and I was recently promoted!”
— Mrs. A., Office Assistant & Small Business Administrator, Port Harcourt
“Learning the basics changed my entire career path. From having zero confidence on a keyboard to mastering Microsoft Office and data entry, I am now gainfully employed.”
“A skill that now pays my bills. The practical drum kit and live performance sessions took my raw interest and turned it into a viable career as a session instrumentalist.”
“When substance addiction almost destroyed my future, the foundation gave me a structured path to recovery, psychosocial counseling, and a true second chance at life.”
“As an unemployed graduate, six months of volunteer internship in a partner firm gave me workplace ethics, leadership habits, and the professional network that led to full-time employment.”
“The school-based health session taught us about hygiene, nutrition, and emotional wellness. I finally understand how to take charge of my health and help my younger siblings.”
“The leadership workshops and safe-space dialogues broke the fear holding me back. For the first time, I felt confident speaking up and advocating for my education.”
