About Us

Our Mission

Igbo People in Diaspora (IPID) is a nonprofit organization committed to the growth and empowerment of youth in Southeast and South-South Nigeria. Our mission is to build human capital by equipping young men and women with the business, technical, and life skills they need to thrive in today’s world. Through a strong focus on entrepreneurship, agricultural training, and cooperative development, we have helped countless individuals gain practical experience and form partnerships that support sustainable livelihoods. Our community-driven projects are designed to not only improve individual lives but also improve entire communities, with tangible results that can be seen and felt. At a time when many young people face limited access to education, job opportunities, and mentorship, our work has become more urgent than ever.

Our Objectives

Empower Youth: We provide young people with the knowledge, life skills, and resources they need to make informed decisions and build a meaningful future.
Promote Awareness: We raise awareness of pressing issues that impact youth daily including educational barriers, health disparities, and economic challenges.
Foster Community Engagement: We create opportunities for youth to take part in community projects, leadership training, and collaborative initiatives that build a stronger, more connected society.
