The Ada Classic Association (ACDA), a non-governmental organisation of UmuOkpu Umuada in Owoahiafor Autonomous Community, Obi Ngwa area of Abia State, has made significant strides through its recent empowerment initiative focused on uplifting young women and female adults.
Speaking on the programme, the association’s President, Chief Mrs. Chinyere Okechukwu Nze, commended members and supporters for their dedication to promoting education and skill acquisition among women in the community.
She emphasised that the initiative is designed to foster self-reliance and create sustainable opportunities for beneficiaries through practical vocational training.
One of the beneficiaries, Miss Confidence Olelewe, was trained in cake baking, event decoration, and pastry making, successfully completing her programme and receiving certification. Similarly, Miss Precious, who was supported with sponsorship for her WAEC registration, recorded outstanding performance in her examinations.
Other participants also acquired skills in soap making and pastry production, equipping them with tools for entrepreneurship and financial independence.
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Miss Confidence Olelewe expressed deep appreciation to the association, describing the intervention as life-changing and a stepping stone towards a better future.
The ACDA empowerment initiative continues to underscore the association’s commitment to community development, women empowerment, and the preservation of the vital role of Umuada in society.
