Yei Community Resource Center (YCRC)
Born out of our original 1998 founding footprint, the Yei Community Resource Center (YCRC) stands today as CEDED's flagship community hub. It features the region's only long-standing public and school library, housed within a peaceful, green environment designed to foster learning, collaboration, and social innovation. Equipped with a modern community hall for workshops, the YCRC actively brings together secondary school and university students, researchers, traditional leaders, and civil society actors to access credible information and co-create solutions to local challenges.
