Peter Akinola Foundation Youth Centre for Industrial Training (PAFYCIT) is a private, non-profit organisation. It was established in 2010 by the former Primate of All Nigeria (Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion), The Most Revd. Peter J. Akinola. We attract people from around the world who share our ideals and vision for positive change. We believe in embracing challenges and taking action. The Youth Centre was established to address the lack of opportunities for the huge population of Nigeria’s out-of-school adolescents, teenagers and youths who are at a crossroad of their lifer journey and eequip them with various life-long skills and education to thrive as professionals lead a positive life. Our trainees, instructors and alumni bring their unique voices to learning and discovery, shaping new ways of doing things and contributing meaningfully to the society. We are where godliness and proficiency collide.
