Background
Dr. Onyema leaves behind a tremendous professional legacy...
Godwin co-founded The GEANCO Foundation (www.geanco.org) in 2005 with his family. GEANCO is an organization that saves and transforms lives in Africa.
We lead complex surgical missions to Nigeria. We provide mental and menstrual health support to teens.

In addition to donating laptops, library, laboratory, and sports facilities to schools, our David Oyelowo Leadership Scholarship for Girls provides full tuition, healthcare, leadership training, and social & psychological support to young female survivors of terrorism and gender inequality in Nigeria.
GEANCO proudly counts among its supporters Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry & Meghan Markle, Angelina Jolie, Benedict Cumberbatch, Charlize Theron, David Oyelowo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Chris Rock, Zoe Saldana, Rachel Brosnahan, Jimmy Kimmel, Rosario Dawson, Andrew Garfield, Jeff Daniels, Daisy Ridley, Forest Whitaker, Aldis Hodge, Yvonne Orji, Uzo Aduba, Cynthia Erivo, Tyrese, Bryan Cranston, Steven Soderbergh, Billy Ray, Janus Funds, FedEx, Capital Group Companies, CAA, UTA, Smiths Group, The Oscars, Disney, Google, Netflix, Pfizer and Marks & Spencer.
