Renewing East Africa Conference
Join us for Nurture All Afric Foundation's inaugural conference, Renewing East Africa: A Conference on Humanitarian Aid, Stabilization & Good Governance. Renewing East Africa strives to bring community members and leaders of Maine and East Africa together to create a progressive dialog via presentations and panel discussions. We're excited to come together to promote awareness of the challenges many East Africans face, and to educate Mainers on how we can all be a part of renewing East Africa in the scope of humanitarian aid, stabilization and good governance.
