We envision a world in which the rich culture and traditions of Ndigbo are deeply appreciated by all and sundry and the ingenuity of Igbo sons and daughters are able to thrive.
Established in 2016, Igbo Ambassadors United Kingdom had evolved into the premier Igbo socio-cultural organisation in Diaspora; with membership drawn from all parts of the UK. As Ambassadors of Igbo culture, we are ever mindful of the privilege we have to represent our culture and country in a distant land. Our members embody the very best of what it means to be Igbo and work collectively to propagate Igbo values such as hard work, integrity, courage, and nity of purpose. We cherish our individualism as a people but hold fast to the understanding that we are strongest together and that when we move as one we become greater than the sum of our parts. This philosophy of individualism within unity undergirds everything we do as an association and is enshrined in our motto “Ofu Obi”.
Mission and Vision
Our mission is to promote the rich Igbo culture and pioneer new ideas and strategies that will enhance the unity and prosperity of the Igbo people. This mission is broken into five key objectives.
• To unite members in the bond of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding.
• To assist in discussing crises and challenges affecting our members, and assist in inspiring and providing a welfare package for our members.
• To take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the Igbo community and host nation.
• To promote the integrity and rich heritage of Igbo culture.
• To promote good governance and leadership at home and in our host nation.
Vision
We envision a world in which the rich culture and traditions of Ndigbo are deeply appreciated by all and sundry and the ingenuity of Igbo sons and daughters are able to thrive.
Our activities as an association are designed with four pillars in mind:
Camaraderie
This remains the bedrock of our club as we continue to develop and foster friendships between members and member families. Our annual family picnics have become the toast of the town as they bring many Igbo and non-Igbo families together in celebration of our culture.
Business and self Improvement
We organise various self-improvement programmes for our members and their families. We are currently working towards developing an Igbo chamber of commerce as a means through which we can contribute towards marketing investment opportunities available in Igbo land. We are also at the forefront of preserving our beautiful language.
Advocacy
As Ambassadors, we are committed to raising issues affecting Ndigbo to the front burner.
Charity and welfare.
We provide our members a robust welfare package and we often engage on charity activities but in our host country and across Igbo land.
