Mission &Vision
To drive inclusive sustainable development by empowering marginalized communities, particularly persons with disabilities, women, and youth, with essential skills and knowledge in technology, environmental conservation, and social advocacy.
A world where every person, regardless of ability or background, has the opportunity to participate in and contribute to sustainable development. We envision empowered communities that are resilient, inclusive, and self-reliant.
Fight against GBV
Advocates for Sustainable Development (ASD) actively engages in the fight against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) by raising awareness, empowering communities, and promoting gender equality. ASD conducts workshops and educational campaigns to educate individuals about the harmful effects of GBV, emphasizing the importance of respect, dignity, and the protection of human rights. Through community outreach programs, ASD advocates for the protection of vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, and collaborates with local stakeholders, schools, and social organizations to foster safe environments. Additionally, ASD champions policy reforms that address GBV and supports survivors by connecting them with legal and psychosocial services.
Youth Leadership
Advocating for youth representation in leadership positions is crucial for fostering inclusive, dynamic, and forward-thinking governance. Young people bring fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and an energy that can drive sustainable development and social progress. Advocates for Sustainable Development (ASD) actively champions the need for young voices to be present at decision-making tables across all sectors—be it in government, private organizations, or civil society.
ASD believes that by empowering youth with leadership opportunities, we create a more representative and equitable society where policies reflect the needs and aspirations of the younger generation. Through mentorship programs, leadership training, and advocacy campaigns, ASD helps young people build the skills and confidence necessary to take on leadership roles. The organization also works with policymakers and institutions to remove barriers that limit youth participation, pushing for policies that promote youth inclusion in governance and leadership structures.
ASD's commitment is rooted in the belief that the youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow but also the leaders of today, whose participation is vital for shaping a sustainable and inclusive future.
