  Ijaw Impact Assembly started as a passion to impact change, especially in the Ijaw community areas. As someone in the diaspora, I didnt want to give the impression I was swooping in to save the day.

I want to thank the Izon Ebi Association (IEA) of Washington DC for sponsoring this project of having a library in Toru-Angiama Community, in Patani Local Govt Area, of Delta State in Nigeria. I also would like to thank the various members of the community who ...
