Our Priorities

At Itsekiri National Congress USA, we are committed to creating long-lasting impact by addressing the pressing needs of our communities. Our approach combines education, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and environmental sustainability to foster resilience, development, and upward social mobility.

Education

We recognize education as a fundamental tool for individual and community growth. Our academic scholarships and vocational training programs provide young people with the opportunities they need to reach their full potential. Additionally, our Itsekiri language classes ensure that cultural preservation goes hand in hand with academic excellence. We provide students access to modern learning environments, computer labs, and mentorship to complement their educational journey.

Healthcare

Good health is the foundation for thriving communities. Our healthcare programs focus on providing underserved communities with access to medical services, including preventive care, health education, and treatment. We work alongside local health practitioners and volunteers to ensure essential care reaches those who need it most. Our programs emphasize preventative healthcare measures, promoting wellness while addressing chronic and acute health issues through outreach and mobile clinics.

Community Development

Community empowerment is at the core of our mission. Through entrepreneurship training and support for small business owners, we equip individuals with the skills and resources necessary to start businesses, create jobs, and foster local economic growth. Our clean water projects ensure communities have access to safe drinking water, reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases. We also promote climate change awareness and action, encouraging sustainable practices to protect the Niger Delta's unique environment.

Social Mobility

Addressing the root causes of poverty is essential to achieving social mobility. By offering vocational scholarships and business development programs, we help individuals gain the skills and resources needed for upward social and economic mobility. From supporting startups to providing internships and job placement, we ensure that individuals have the opportunity to advance, both personally and professionally.

Essential Life Needs

To thrive, individuals must first have their basic needs met. Through our relief programs, we deliver food, clean water, clothing, and essential supplies to vulnerable communities. Our food drives and donation efforts ensure that families have access to the resources they need during challenging times. In addition, we support healthcare initiatives that focus on dental and vision care, addressing the fundamental health issues that are often neglected in underserved areas.
