About AMOZA Empowering Iraq’s Future
Welcome to AMOZA, a registered NGO devoted to fostering youth development and empowerment across Iraq. Our mission is to create meaningful opportunities for young people, especially those impacted by displacement and conflict, by revitalizing traditional industries and promoting sustainable practices.
At AMOZA, we believe in the power of community and the potential of every individual. Our programs are designed to provide education, vocational training, entrepreneurial support, and agribusiness development. We aim to enable youth to build sustainable livelihoods and contribute to the economic and social fabric of their communities. Additionally, we empower women-led businesses, particularly in agribusiness, by enhancing their skills in food safety, hygiene, and improved business management. We are dedicated to nurturing a generation of leaders equipped with the skills and knowledge to drive positive change and innovation.
