New Community Project began nearly 20 years ago and today its website is stretched from Myanmar to Arctic Village, Alaska, home of the Native Gwich’in, through such places as New Mexico and the lands of the Native Dine,’ to the Ecuadorian Amazon and the Siona people. NCP works with local groups in the Dominican Republic to foster sustainable development in mountain communities. In South Sudan, the South Sudan Council of Churches and the Girlchild Education and Development Association are key program partners in Narus and Nimule, coordinating grants for girl’s education and women’s development. They serve as host for NCP Learning Tours.
In Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, NCP has partners who support girl’s education, tailoring and microloan programs for women as well as reforestation. A fundamental aspect of NCP is its Learning Tours to these areas, to build relationships with native peoples as well as educational opportunities for tour participants.
The Tropical Conservation Center in Nigeria partners with NCP to restore mangrove forests in the Niger Delta. This involvement also promotes the use of wood-conserving stoves and the development of alternative income sources to stem deforestation.
