Who We Are
Our Purpose
Since 2002 ENA has sought to engage and strengthen individuals, families, and communities to end poverty by instilling hope and teaching principles of sustainability in:
- Education
- Micro Credit
- Clean Water
- Medical Services
- Orphan Support
- Eradication of Modern Slavery, [Refugee Advocate Services]
Our Refugee Advocate Services
- Prevent the exploitation and vulnerability of African refugees living in the United States by assisting them in integrating into their new homes and communities.
- Work with local partners to provide critical services such as housing, medical, education, job training and other resources so they can become self-reliant new Americans.
- Establish solid partnerships and relationships with local governments, non-profits, universities, students, churches, volunteers, and community leaders.
- In Ghana, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Uganda and Namibia we are helping people and communities internally displaced due to poverty, conflict and natural disasters with sustainable solutions to improve their lives.
Our Vision
Our long-term vision is to develop lasting sustainable change with individuals and the villages we work in. We do this by improving education, health access, clean water and sanitation, orphan support, micro-credit and anti-slavery programs. Focusing in these six areas identifies critical needs within communities and strengthens families.
What We Do
Why We Succeed. We implement targeted solutions that create hope and opportunity.
We go where we are invited and when we get there we work incollaborative partnerships. Communities accept our assistance knowing they must invest in and be part of the work to resolve the challenges they face. We never go where we are not wanted. This includes working with local government ministries, community leaders and representatives to determine needs of community and seek those that want to work in a partnership to solve various problems or issues.
We collect and analyze data, and then do it again. We conduct pre-assessments prior to beginning work and facilitate interviews with local leaders and community members throughout the project and upon completion. We use this information to understand how our work is improving lives and ending poverty. We submit and analyze quarterly reports, and conduct an annual follow-up. We believe in the power of measuring our work and providing transparency.
100% of donations go to those in need. That’s right, all of it. We obtain private funds for our administration costs which are among the lowest in the non-profit sector. With ENA, your contribution goes further and does more.
Our impact is centered in sustainability. From literacy to business to general education, ENA focuses on projects that provide people the tools they need to improve their own situation and do so over the long-term.
