Empowering Niger Delta Communities for a Brighter Future

The Issue

In the Niger Delta, both Itsekiri communities and their neighbors face substantial challenges due to decades of environmental exploitation, lack of access to essential services, and political marginalization. Itsekiri National Congress USA Inc. is committed to empowering these communities by addressing these challenges through sustainable solutions in education, healthcare, and economic empowerment. With your support, we can make a real difference.

Why Your Support Matters

When you contribute to Itsekiri National Congress USA, you are directly funding programs that create lasting change. Your donations help provide critical services to individuals who need them most, ensuring they can access healthcare, education, and economic opportunities to break the cycle of poverty.

The Challenge

The Niger Delta is rich in natural resources, but local communities have not reaped the benefits. Instead, they face environmental destruction, economic instability, and limited access to healthcare and education.

Over 70% of Niger Delta residents live below the poverty line.

Up to 80% of rural children in parts of the Delta do not complete primary school.

The region has an infant mortality rate significantly higher than the national average.

Education: A Pathway to Change

Education is at the heart of our mission. By investing in education, we can help communities lift themselves out of poverty and build stronger futures. However, many children in the Niger Delta face significant barriers to accessing quality education.

42% of schools lack basic infrastructure.

Only 30% of students have access to modern learning tools.

Girls are twice as likely to drop out due to social and financial pressures.

Healthcare: A Lifeline for Communities

Healthcare access in the Niger Delta is critical to improving the well-being of families. Our Itsekiri Health Insurance Program (IHIP) and outreach initiatives help bridge the gap, ensuring families have access to essential services that save lives.

1 in 5 children in the Niger Delta dies before age five from preventable diseases.

60% of rural areas lack access to clean water, leading to disease outbreaks.

Malaria and waterborne diseases remain prevalent, with over 30% of the population affected.

Economic Empowerment: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
