🌍 Introduction: A Nation on the Climate Frontlines
Nigeria is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. From extreme heat to worsening floods, our environment is changing — and our communities are paying the price. But this isn’t the time to sit back. It’s time to act. At One Foundation, we’re taking local action to address a global crisis.
🌧️ What’s Happening in Nigeria?
The signs of climate change are already here:
- Desertification in the North.
- Floods destroying farmlands in the South.
- Heatwaves and droughts affecting harvests.
- Rising sea levels threatening coastal communities.
These changes are affecting our food supply, health, and livelihoods — especially for rural families.
💪 One Foundation’s Climate Action Initiatives
We believe climate resilience starts with community resilience. That’s why our programs focus on education, innovation, and sustainable practices.
🔋 Renewable Energy for Rural Communities
We’re promoting the use of solar-powered irrigation and clean cooking alternatives to reduce deforestation and emissions.
🌿 Climate-Smart Farming
We train farmers on climate-resilient crops, soil conservation, and water-saving techniques to protect food sources.
📚 Youth-Led Climate Education
Young people are the future. Through community workshops and school programs, we’re building a generation that understands climate change — and how to fight it.
🧑🤝🧑 Stories from the Field
In Plateau State, One Foundation worked with a youth-led group to plant 2,000 trees in a reforestation project. Not only did this restore a degraded landscape, but it also created jobs and educated over 500 students on environmental care.
