One Foundation’s Impact on Sustainable Development in Abuja

One Foundation’s Impact on Sustainable Development in Abuja

by with No Comment BLOG

Introduction: Why Abuja Matters

As Nigeria’s capital, Abuja is more than just the political hub — it’s a city of contrasts. Urban development rises next to underserved rural communities struggling with poverty, unemployment, and the effects of climate change.

That’s where One Foundation comes in — working to close the gap through targeted, sustainable development projects that touch lives right here in Abuja.

🌿 Our Mission in Abuja

From the outskirts of Gwagwalada to Bwari, we’ve identified key challenges facing communities, including:

  • Poor access to clean water
  • Unemployment among youth and women
  • Depleted farmlands due to climate stress
  • Limited awareness on sustainable practices

Our work here is about local change with lasting impact.

🛠️ Projects We’re Proud Of

🚰 1. Clean Water for Life – Gwagwalada

We installed solar-powered boreholes in several communities, providing over 3,000 residents with access to safe, clean water and reducing waterborne diseases.

🌽 2. Youth Farming Hubs – Bwari Axis

We established a youth-focused agribusiness training hub, teaching climate-smart agriculture and entrepreneurship. Over 150 youths have graduated so far — many now running their own mini-farms.

💡 3. Women Empowerment Circles – Kuje

Through our “Women Lead the Way” initiative, we’ve trained women on renewable energy, food processing, and community organizing. These women now mentor others, multiplying the impact.

💬 Voices from Abuja

“I never thought I could earn money from farming. Now I supply vegetables to local markets in Garki and Nyanya.”
— Chidinma, 26, Bwari LGA

“Thanks to One Foundation, our village no longer depends on stream water. We’re healthier and more united.”
— Alhaji Musa, Gwagwalada

🌍 Our Vision for Abuja’s Future

We’re not done yet. In the coming year, we plan to:

  • Launch a Green Abuja Campaign (tree planting + waste reduction)
  • Expand into Abaji and Kwali Area Councils
  • Train 200 more women and youth in green tech, agriculture, and community health

🙌 Be Part of the Solution

Change begins with people who care. You can support our Abuja initiatives by:

  • Donating to fund clean energy and water projects
  • Partnering with us for CSR or outreach programs

Climate Change in Nigeria: What One Foundation is Doing to Build Resilience

The Climate Crisis in Nigeria: Why Local Action Matters Now More Than Ever

by with No Comment BLOGGeneral News Update

🌍 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.

📣 What You Can Do

The climate fight is not for NGOs alone — it’s for all of us. Here’s how you can contribute:

  • Support our climate education campaigns
  • Partner with us to provide solar kits for rural homes
  • Share this post and help spread awareness

How One Foundation is Leading the Change

Tackling Hunger in Nigeria: How One Foundation is Empowering Communities Through Sustainable Agriculture

by with No Comment BLOGGeneral News Update

Introduction: Nigeria’s Food Crisis and the Need for Action

In a country blessed with fertile land and abundant human resources, it’s heartbreaking that millions of Nigerians still go to bed hungry. At One Foundation, we believe that real change begins at the grassroots — and that’s why we’re committed to tackling hunger through sustainable agricultural solutions.

💡 What is Sustainable Agriculture?

Sustainable agriculture goes beyond just planting crops. It’s a method that protects the environment, supports farmer livelihoods, and ensures food availability for future generations. Think crop rotation, organic farming, and efficient water usage — practices that respect both people and the planet.

🌱 How One Foundation is Leading the Change

At One Foundation, we approach the food crisis with practical, community-focused strategies:

✅ Supporting Local Farmers

We train and equip smallholder farmers with modern techniques, tools, and access to resources. This ensures they produce more food with less environmental impact.

✅ Promoting Organic Farming

We encourage natural farming methods to improve soil health and reduce chemical pollution, helping both humans and ecosystems thrive.

✅ Women and Youth Empowerment

We focus on engaging women and young people — the backbone of rural farming — giving them the skills and confidence to become agribusiness leaders.

📈 Real Impact, Real Stories

In Nasarawa, for instance, we partnered with a local cooperative to train over 120 farmers on climate-smart agriculture. Within six months, crop yields improved by 40%, and over 60 families reported improved food access.

🛠️ Our Plans Going Forward

We’re expanding our sustainable agriculture initiatives to more communities across Nigeria. This includes:

  • Setting up demonstration farms.
  • Offering micro-grants for women-led agricultural startups.
  • Collaborating with climate researchers to improve rural resilience.
