A container of books were also each donated by Project Hope, Books for Africa (BFA), and International Book Bank, all USA based non-profit organizations dedicated to uplifting the living standards of the under-represented, the poor and vulnerable around the world. A&E Television Network and other computer donors made the donation for the shipment of containers of computers and other educational materials.

Earth Rights Institute intends to broaden our humanitarian aid program in the Niger Delta region. We are looking forward to developing a partnership with the Niger Delta Development Commission on their peace keeping efforts and master plan for sustainable development.

Earth Rights Institute is also developing an association with the Bonobo Conservation Initiative, an innovative project combining conservation concessions and a linked of community-based reserves and eco-villages supported by sustainable development in the Congo (DRC).
