Chukwukere said, “This programme is so passionate to me. Aside been my way of giving back to the society and putting smiles on the faces of fellow women, I believe it will help and encourage the beneficiaries to contribute effectively to the sustainability of their respective homes.
“This year edition is such an impactful one. It is a clear demonstration of our passion for women development.
