On Monday, May 4, 2026, Statecraft Foundation team visited one of our project communities from the ECYSD (Enhancing Community Youth for Service Delivery) Project implemented in partnership with the Nigeria Youth Futures Fund, by name Ijah-Pada, in Kwali Area Council.

The moments capture more than a visit, they show the beginning of reliable energy in a community that has never been connected to the National grid.
