WHO WE ARE

 

Ndokwa Association in America is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, a charitable, civic organization created by, and for the sons, daughters, spouses of the Ukwuani and the Ndosumili areas of Delta State, Nigeria, living in the United States of America.

 

WHAT WE DO

• We foster good relationships and unity among and between Ndokwa people in the United States of America and the general public.
• We strive to improve our lives, welfare, status as well as for those with whom we coexist.
• We seek to improve the quality of Ndokwa human capital through education and human resource development activities.
• We promote equity and access for all Ndokwa people in social, political, economic, and cultural activities by providing enabling infrastructures in impoverished parts of Ndokwaland.
• We encourage the visibility and participation of the Ndokwa people in all facets of public life.
• We promote peace and mutual co-existence amongst Ndokwa people and the public at large.

 

WHAT MOTIVATES US

 

We love Ndokwa land, Nigeria, and our adopted country, the U.S.A. Our desire to fulfill the tenets of responsible citizenship is what motivates us to do what we do. We are determined to contribute to the establishment and the maintenance of the excellent reputation of all Ndokwa sons and daughters, wherever we are in the United States of America.

 

WHAT WE HAVE DONE

 

Since its inception, the Ndokwa Association in America has awarded a full four-year university scholarship to one student, per local government, in Ndokwa land, for the past six years. 

Over the past six years, the N.A.I.A. installed six borehole wells in remote rural communities of Ndokwa.

We have organized conventions in various cities within the U.S.A., bringing together our Ndokwa diaspora. This event, which takes place in a different city, every two years, features traditional dances, guests from Nigeria, and offers our children and our families the opportunity to make friends and renew old friendships.
