About Congress WBN
Congress WBN Values
Congress WBN is committed to collaborating with governments toward sustainable national development. In this regard, we do not view sustainable development as an elusive economic term but rather embrace the concept that effective and sustainable nation-building must be founded on deliberate, strategic, and focused attention to all aspects of human development – moral, economic, social, and cultural.
In addition, we view national development as being predicated on understanding not only the current but more importantly the potential role of developing countries in a global future context. Accurate understanding of this role allows the identification of the pathway or distinct steps toward fulfilling a national destiny.
Human Development
This is the core objective of all Congress activity as evidenced in projects such as:
- Establishment of NorthGate College, Trinidad
- Establishment of Northgate Business Institute, Lagos, Nigeria
- The Sishemo: Project for Training Displaced Orphans, Lusaka, Zambia
- Tumaini: Increasing Public Awareness through Drama, Nairobi, Kenya
- National Youth Steel Orchestra and Leadership Development Program, Belize
- Youth Development Program at St. Michaels Home for Boys, Trinidad

- Las Lomas Community Empowerment, Trinidad
- Dangriga Male Empowerment Initiative, Belize
- HIV/AIDS Projects, Zambia and Kenya
- Environmental Program in Githurai Housing Estate, Nairobi, Kenya
- Adult & Youth Computer Literacy Centres, Trinidad
