Igbo Common Causes (President - Brownwell O. Ezeribe) is committed to providing books, materials, and supplies for elementary, secondary, and post-secondary schools for all students. Also pamphlets and literature on AIDS prevention will be made available to schools. Above all, the Igbo Common Causes will provide food and food distribution channels to see that everybody who needs food gets it. Agricultural equipment and clean water through water treatment methods will be provided too.
On the economic front, Igbo Common Causes is committed to provide small business with banking initiative and educating them on the concept of small business loans. To this end, a core of volunteers will be recruited to help disseminate this idea through workshops and seminars in local and community level. Agriculture being the main- stay of the Igbo people and palm oil and kernel being the main cash crop, studies in palm tree growing and maintenance will receive important attention through the Palm Oil Institute, Schools of Agriculture, and the Center for Igbo Studies.
The strategic and logistic thrust of this program will be borne by our core of volunteers referred to above.
