Empowering Iraqi Youth: A Story of Courage, Growth, and Impact

Meet Wafaa, Alaq, and Aysen—three extraordinary young Iraqis whose entrepreneurial spirit has blossomed through their journey with SAAVI Tadreeb, a transformative training program powered by ITC’s SAAVI and funded by the European Union.
With resilience and vision, these three ambitious alumni embraced all 10 modules of the training, equipping themselves with the skills and confidence to step boldly into the world of sustainable entrepreneurship. Their success is a testament to the immense potential of Iraqi youth, who represent not just the future but the driving force behind the country’s economic transformation.
Since 2020, ITC has empowered over 5,583 young people, with 500 dynamic entrepreneurs already launching their own businesses. These numbers tell a powerful story of hope, innovation, and opportunity, but behind each number is a young dreamer taking charge of their destiny.
