One Foundation’s Impact on Sustainable Development in Abuja

One Foundation’s Impact on Sustainable Development in Abuja

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

How Women Are Leading Climate Action in Rural Nigeria | One Foundation

Women and Climate Leadership in Rural Nigeria: Driving Grassroots Change

🌿 Introduction: Climate Change Has a Gender

In Nigeria, climate change isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s a gender issue. Women, especially in rural communities, bear the brunt of its impact. Yet, they are often excluded from conversations about climate solutions.

At One Foundation, we believe that real change begins when women lead. That’s why we’re investing in women and climate leadership at the grassroots level.


👩‍🌾 Why Women Are Central to Climate Solutions

Women in rural Nigeria:

  • Walk miles for clean water.
  • Manage household food security.
  • Work the land as smallholder farmers.

Their daily lives are deeply connected to the environment. Who better to lead the charge toward climate resilience?


🔧 How One Foundation is Empowering Women

We’re not just handing out aid — we’re building climate champions.

🌱 1. Training in Climate-Smart Agriculture

We train women in drought-resistant farming, organic practices, and natural resource management — turning everyday farmers into eco-innovators.

🔋 2. Access to Clean Energy

We support female-led cooperatives in adopting solar-powered tools, reducing their dependence on harmful fuels like firewood.

📢 3. Leadership & Advocacy

From local town halls to state-level meetings, we ensure that rural women have a seat at the table when climate policy is discussed.


🌍 Impact Story: Amina’s Solar Farm Project

Amina, a 32-year-old farmer from Bauchi, attended our clean energy workshop. Today, she leads a women’s group managing a solar-powered irrigation system that has increased farm productivity by 60%. Her village now sees her as both a farmer and a climate leader.


🚀 The Bigger Picture

Empowering women in climate action:

  • Improves community resilience
  • Promotes economic independence
  • Ensures sustainable environmental practices

At One Foundation, we believe this is the future of development in Nigeria.


✊ How You Can Support

You can play a part in this movement by:

  • Donating to support more women-led initiatives
  • Volunteering to mentor women in agriculture, tech, or policy
  • Sharing our message far and wide
