The organization's website is located at http://www.mbieri-usa.org and is a non-profit national organization of all Mbierians in the USA, represented through our regional USA-based chapter organizations. These chapters are registered Mbieri organizations located in defined regions, whose members are Mbieri people and others interested in promoting the objectives of the national organization. Established in 2000, Mbieri Nwaotuoke USA Inc. is dedicated to advocating a unified, collective vision for the development of Mbieri, and facilitating the economic empowerment of Mbieri people in the USA and in our ancestral home, Mbieri, in Imo State, Nigeria.
