The Nigerian Green Youths Foundation, NGYF for short is known as a youth lead organization.
The Nigeria Green Youths Foundation is a Not for Profit Organization and an initiative that was created since 2006, participating in youth development, training, re-orientation as well as funding youth lead programs before it became fully founded and gave birth to its key vision and objective in 2010 and since then has been mandated to carry out programs and project involving youth development. So
me of these programs include: Advocating Positive Leadership among young people between the ages of 14-35 as well as others Promote Environmental Safety and health by reaching out to less privilege individuals and 90% of Nigerian citizens in academic institution, market places, small organization who lack the ability to afford medical check-up Train young people between the ages of 14-35 in entrepreneurship skills and development in order to foster self-employment in Nigeria as well as others etc. As it is already becoming obvious in some developing countries that 90% of people who get ill, gets ill as a result of certain life style and the sort of environmental condition they put themselves or found themselves especially in developing countries like Nigeria, hence the need to carry-out Preventive health care program that will help young people and other age group the opportunity to know their health status cannot be over emphasized. This has resulted in more preventive action rather than a corrective one. Providing Solution Out of 100 percent graduates every year only 20-30 percent gets to be employed in companies, organizations and industries while 50 percent of those already employed loose their job to go look for another after roughly a year, hence no job security, however with entrepreneurship training and basic re-orientation and vocational training a lot of young people are developing on their own and on their hidden talents and funding this youths has kept them engaged Undergoing advocacy and positive leadership training, workshop, summits and meetings has helped us deliver to young people as well as the young minded youths the leadership skill they need to stay at the top of the chart in their career, jobs, business and endeavours Environmental health and Safety is an important topic globally today with nations logging trees, heavy wave of deforestation, emission of incomplete combustion of carbon from vehicles, the greenhouse effect, eutrophication, more forest are being consumed by industries with interest for profit, bad waste disposal system, bush burning, defective agricultural practice resulting to infertile land all this has brought about uncontrollable and most incurable diseases today, discomfort in many human and animal habitation due to some of this activities, loss of rear species etc. Having carried out environmental programs and participated in many other national and international training on environmental sustainability it has made it possible for us to strengthen and structure our advocacy program as well as affiliate with other organization in educating the public, government, young people and children as they are the leaders of today and must be found in a good healthy condition to fulfil the goals of leadership.
