About Africa Trade Promotion (ATP)

Africa Trade Promotion (ATP) is redefining the future of fashion by merging sustainability, circularity, and global connectivity. We transform surplus clothing into meaningful opportunities by extending its life cycle and ensuring it reaches the communities where it creates the greatest economic and social impact.

Across the globe, the fashion industry faces a major challenge: millions of high-quality garments remain unsold every year and ultimately end up in landfills. We believe these items are not waste — they are resources. By redirecting surplus clothing from the UK into vibrant markets across Nigeria, we reduce textile waste, promote circular fashion practices, and make quality apparel accessible to millions who depend on it.

With a population of over 200 million people, Nigeria stands as one of Africa’s most dynamic and influential fashion economies. Through our work in key markets such as Aswani, Katangua, and Aba, we empower traders, strengthen micro-businesses, and support sustainable livelihoods across local communities.

At Africa Trade Promotion, sustainability isn’t just something we practice — it is the foundation of who we are. By bridging the gap between surplus and demand, we are building a responsible, inclusive, and impactful fashion ecosystem that works for people, the planet, and the future.
