Our mission is to educate, uplift, and empower individuals through programs and resources that promote personal growth, collective engagement, and positive change in underserved and disadvantaged communities for a more equitable world.
Welcome! Refined Community Empowerment is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We address International Social Injustices: Environmental Injustice, Health Disparities, Educational Inequity, and Housing Inequality. Refined Community Empowerment, Inc. was established on July 31, 2023, out of the need to help protect the people suffering from the disproportionate impacts of chemicals on vulnerable communities in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, which is a part of "Cancer Alley."
Many of these overburdened environmental justice communities, still reeling from the devastating effects of Hurricane Ida (August 2021), now face a new threat from chemical plants seeking permits to operate on the fence line of the vulnerable communities. Shockingly, no community air monitoring is in place. This urgent situation underscores the immediate need for our work and the crucial role of volunteers in addressing the environmental, health, educational, and housing needs of these underserved communities in Cancer Alley in Southern Louisiana.
Similarly, we are unwavering in our pursuit of improving the quality of life in underserved communities. We are committed to supporting the people of villages in Ghana, Africa, who need clean water for daily survival, updated public toilets, and school and medical supplies.
