African Post-War Education & Reconstruction (African POWER) is a Canadian charitable organization. We help communities in developing countries to maintain good health and social wellbeing by protecting the natural environment from which they derive their livelihood, tradition and culture and to help them use these resources sustainably.

We are sensitive to the important role tradition and culture plays in the lives of rural communities in developing countries. We borrow heavily from these traditions and cultures as we design educational programs in basic and environmental health, community wellbeing and education.

“We cherish our environment because it is an integral part of our country and our heritage. On land and in the sea, our forefathers lived and survived in this environment. They were able to do so only because they recognized the need to conserve it; to take from it only what they needed to live, and to preserve it for succeeding generations. With God’s will, we shall continue to work to protect our environment and our wildlife, as did our forefathers before us. It is a duty, and if we fail, our children, rightly, will reproach us for squandering an essential part of their inheritance, and our heritage”.

“Our Heritage, Their Inheritance”. Those were the inspiring words of the late leader of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan at his country’s first environment day in 1998.
