IWU International formally known as IPAI was incorporated in the State of Texas in 2006. As an organization, with the primary goal of uniting Igbere families, to continue our mission, and determination to harness every element of modern community development at our disposal for the development of our people.

The Community

As traditionally envisioned, the strenghth of our community is our unity and love for one another, which inspired the creation of the Igbere Welfare Union.       "Onye' agba'la nge'nge!"

Sankofa_edited.png

In the Twi language of Ghana, Sankofa is a word that translates to “go back and get it”

​

It is a simple enough message that captures what we actually and naturally do when we realise we have left home without something that is important for the journey at hand. But what the Twi people of Ghana had in mind was more like going back to the past glorious or not, to pick what is good and bring it into the present in order to be ready for the future – the journey ahead. It is a perfect example of where it is okay to learn the lessons of history in order to repeat that history.
