community empowerment

Nigerians in West Texas (NIWT) is a Nigerian-American nonprofit organization that celebrates our Nigerian heritage while contributing positively to the West Texas communities we call home. Our members live, work, study, raise families, own businesses, volunteer, and build their futures here. Through cultural engagement, education, mentorship, community service, and practical resources, we strengthen our community while creating opportunities to serve our neighbors across West Texas.
Our heritage is Nigerian. Our home is West Texas. Our service extends to everyone.

member engagement & support

We strengthen connections among our members through cultural activities, networking, mentorship, and opportunities for meaningful engagement. We encourage collaboration, mutual support, and active participation while helping members build lasting relationships and become engaged contributors to the communities where they live and work.

Resource & skill sharing

NIWT fosters mutual assistance, knowledge sharing, mentorship, and skill development among our members. We connect people with information, professional networks, practical resources, and opportunities that help individuals and families thrive while strengthening their capacity to contribute to the broader community.

ongoing community initiatives

We engage in community service initiatives that benefit the broader West Texas communities we call home. While rooted in Nigerian-American heritage and culture, our educational, humanitarian, and outreach initiatives are open to the general public without discrimination. Our efforts include community service drives, support for vulnerable families, civic education, professional development, and leadership programs.

Community Service

We believe being part of West Texas means giving back to West Texas. NIWT organizes service initiatives that benefit the broader communities where our members live, work, and raise their families. Our efforts have included distributing water to support firefighters in Midland, Odessa, Lubbock, and Big Spring, along with educational outreach, humanitarian initiatives, family support, and access to practical community resources.
Our community-service initiatives are open to the broader public and are not limited to Nigerians.
