About Us
We Are Building Connections That Strengthen Generations
Building Bridges Between Generations
The FLAMEG Inter-Generational Care Initiative (FIGCI) is a non-profit, non-political, community-driven organisation based in Cross River State, Nigeria.
FIGCI was founded to address two of the most overlooked social challenges facing communities across Nigeria and many parts of the world: the growing isolation and digital exclusion of elderly citizens, and the widening skills, mentorship and opportunity gap facing young people.
Rather than treating these as separate challenges, FIGCI brings older and younger generations together within the care economy, creating structured opportunities where each group provides what the other needs most.

Our vision, mission, and core values shape every connection we foster, every community we serve, and every impact we create.
Our Vision
