Achieving Sustainable Development in Nigeria: Our Commitment to SDG 8, Decent Work & Economic Growth

3/29/20251 min read

Nigeria has a growing workforce, yet unemployment remains one of the biggest challenges. Youth unemployment rates exceed 30%, with millions of young people struggling to find meaningful employment. The lack of access to skill-based training, financial resources, and mentorship opportunities further exacerbates the problem.

At AWWATF, we recognize that economic empowerment is vital for sustainable development. Our mission is to create opportunities that enable individuals, especially youth and women, to achieve financial independence and contribute to economic growth.

How We Are Making an Impact:

  • Running vocational training programs that equip individuals with practical skills in fields such as agriculture, digital technology, fashion design, and carpentry.

  • Supporting small businesses and startups by providing micro-financing opportunities, business development training, and mentorship to help entrepreneurs build successful ventures.

  • Partnering with organizations to facilitate job placement and career development programs, ensuring that skilled individuals can secure meaningful employment.

  • Encouraging women and youth participation in the workforce through targeted empowerment programs, helping them break barriers and achieve financial stability.

How You Can Get Involved

You can support economic growth by:

  • Donating to fund skill acquisition and job creation programs.

  • Volunteering as a mentor, trainer, or career advisor.

  • Partnering with us to create job opportunities and business support initiatives.

Together, we can build a future where every Nigerian has access to decent work and economic opportunities.
