Beneficiary Ezeigbo Ngozi Prisca from Uba praised the foundation, saying, “I want to express my gratitude to the God Almighty who made this movement a reality despite the challenges… To Umuaka Charity Foundation, the founder, the contributors, the coordinators, and organizers, and all the people who helped in one way or the other. I pray may God bless and strengthen you all.”

Another beneficiary, Mazi Desmond Oguama from Amaiyi Akah, described the empowerment exercise as “fantastic” and commended the virtues of the foundation’s founder, Mazi Iwuaku Iwuchukwu, who notably contributed significantly to the program with millions of Naira.
