For a couple of months going, the WCC has been involved in different empowerment programs for the girls and women in Umuaka. Some activities like essay competition and the presentation of different types of business proposals were used as yardstick to determine the winners and beneficiaries. The sum of N50,000 each was eventually given to the women to support their businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Prominent among these women were various village and kindred leaders. The women leaders were picked as a sign of encouragement for their selfless services to the community of Umuaka.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2004\" src=\"http:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/39.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/39.png 628w, https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/39-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While answering questions from Umuaka Times shortly anger the program, the Executive Director of Women\u2019s Crisis Centre, Ms Lesley Chinwe Agams, said that one of the key purposes for the disbursement of funds to the women was because of the harsh effects of Cvid119. In her analysis, Covid19 did not kill many people n the state and the Umuaka but it created a deep economic crisis globally which reached Umuaka. She strongly made an advocacy to government and donor agencies to always invest in women because they are less likely to misappropriate the funds. Agams further commended the Umuaka women for their industry and love for their families.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2005\"
