Our mission is to foster improved living standards, poverty reduction, and environmental respect in disadvantaged communities through education, self-help, and practical grassroots projects. – reflects that of NECC.
Why Kenya?
Kenya is a beautiful country of unparalleled landscapes, boasting some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa along with a rich tribal heritage. If you have visited, you know this well. The side of Kenya that tourists seldom see, though, is a country ravaged by the adverse effects of deforestation, natural resource destruction/depletion, climate change, overpopulation and the daily tragedy of HIV/AIDS.
Kenya’s modern capital of Nairobi, one of Africa’s largest and most compelling cities, is no longer a frontier town. This city of boundless energy is still considered the safari capital of Africa. Like Kenya as a whole, this is a place of great contrasts where race, tribe and origin create a unique Kenyan character.
The communities of rural Kenya however, lag far behind. The focus of Earth Wind Fire and Water centers on the communities northwest of Nairobi that are served by Ndabibi Environmental Conservation Centre.
Our Commitment
Earth Wind Fire and Water (EWFandW) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Ambler, Pennsylvania, USA. Operating with a grass-roots perspective, we are committed to teaching environmental sustainability and stewardship through our partnership with Ndabibi Environmental Conservation Centre (NECC), a Kenyan NGO (non-governmental organization). The lessons and field work developed and taught at NECC are applicable to any environmentally ravaged and disadvantaged area in the world.
We are heartened by the enthusiasm and support of all our visionary friends for the ongoing work at NECC, where the future holds boundless promise. Expanding partnerships (locally and abroad) and increasing programming will broaden employment opportunities, improve quality of life, inspire young leaders, and safeguard the environment for future generations in Kenya and beyond.
