The Dave Omokaro Foundations has developed models for intergenerational resource centers around the traditional arts and crafts and other productive enterprise of the community, where older persons can continue to engage their expertise to empower the youth with information and skills, and where the youth can bring energy, innovation, technology and creativity to product design and marketing. The centers will be piloted in the 6 geo-political zones.
