FATE is committed to assisting Nigerian youth to establish and grow successful businesses by equipping them with the necessary tools, skills, networks and financing.
Indeed, FATE's mission is to foster wealth creation by promoting Business and Entrepreneurial development among Nigerian Youths.

The vision behind this is to foster the growth and establishment of over 1,000 businesses by 2005 and 5,000 businesses by 2015. These businesses will lead to the creation of employment for at least 50,000 Nigerians by 2015.
Accenture supports this programme by regular participation of numerous Accenture employees facilitating different topics of concern in the development of these entrepreneurs as well as mentorships for some of the young entrepreneurs. This has proven to be very valuable for this laudable programme.
FATE Foundation is a nonprofit, private sector-led organization. It was created and funded by Nigerians in March 2000 because they felt that the viable youth of Nigeria are able to directly attack the high rates of unemployment and poverty in Nigeria.
