Sankofa Community Development Corporation

At Sankofa Community Development Corporation, we believe health to be the cornerstone of a thriving Community with safety, stability and overall viability. We are committed to sustainable, health-centered Development to revitalize the Lower Ninth Ward area through the lens of environmental justice. Our Community and economic Development programs address those systemic problems that cause social and health disparities by building infrastructure that works with nature (rather than against it). We are creating simple solutions to real-world problems by building infrastructure to support a resilient Community in the Lower Ninth Ward and a local environment that promotes positive health outcomes and builds healthier communities for generations to come.
