Pillars of Community Development (PCD) was incorporated (RC 764319) on 4th August 2008, under the Companies and Allied Matters Act 1990, as a Company Limited by Guarantee. Its objects empower it to engage in Environmental, Health, and Gender advocacy. It is also an NGO Microfinance Institution conceptualized as a vehicle for poverty eradication. PCD is also a Resource Centre for the campaign against HIV/AIDS pandemic as well as a place for the stimulation of ideas and awareness on Food Security and related matters. We recognize that Akwa Ibom State is a virgin land for our operations because the official Poverty Index of the State is about 76%. We currently have over 9000 members/clients and our business plan is to build over 50,000 active members/clients within five years translating into a micro-credit portfolio in excess of N1billion. We are determined to contribute significantly to solving the protracted crises in Nigeria’s volatile Niger Delta Region and make appreciable inputs into Nigeria’s march towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). |
