The influence of the African continent on Caribbean identity has never faded. It lives on through food, music, art, language, dance and ancestral traditions.The organization began with the vision of Okama Ekpe Brook, a Nigerian professional whose work with the United Nations took her across the world. While based in Curacao and St. Maarten, she recognized the deep cultural ties between African and Caribbean peoples and created ACHA as a positive connecting gateway. Her background in nation building, change management, ethnocultural research and sustainability shaped a clear understanding of how these regions can strengthen one another.ACHA was first registered in St. Maarten, then expanded to Nigeria in 2018. Its programs in Nigeria have grown through partnerships with donors, organizations and individuals. With Okama’s move to Alberta in 2021, the need for a Canadian chapter became clear. ACHA Canada was registered in 2023 through the Alberta Societies Act, with regional expansion underway for Jamaica and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States.Our FocusACHA’s work spans a range of sectors that are naturally interconnected through shared cultural heritage.

Board of Directors – Director Position 
 
The Young Caregivers Association 
 Established in 2003, the Young Caregivers Association (YCA) has transformed the lives of 
young caregivers, the unseen population of family caregivers. We’re the first organization and 
registered charity in Canada dedicated to supporting young caregivers and their families who 
live in rural and urban communities, while building awareness across Canada. 
 
Young caregivers are children, youth, and young adults ages 5 to 25 who provide care for a 
family member due to a chronic illness, disability, mental health concern, substance misuse, or 
socioeconomic factor (e.g., a language barrier). Young caregivers help their family members in 
various ways by caring for their siblings or providing personal, emotional, or financial support. 
 
We collaborate with community partners to bring specialized programs and expertise to 
professionals and organizations across Canada, giving them the tools they need to positively 
impact children, youth and young adults.

in Ontario so they are all able to achieve their full potential.
