Rite Foods Limited, Nigeria’s leading manufacturer of quality beverages and snacks, has reaffirmed its commitment to youth development and gender inclusion through its partnership with the Lifelong Impact and Welfare Foundation for the third edition of the Empower Her with JennyUK initiative.
The annual empowerment programme, themed “Unlocking the Potential of the Next Generation,” was held at Gbagada Girls Junior Secondary School in Lagos, where hundreds of young girls participated in interactive sessions on health, hygiene, self-awareness, and personal development.
Rite Foods’ participation in the initiative underscores its belief that empowering young girls is essential to building a stronger and more equitable society. Through the Empower Her platform, the company continues to nurture confidence, discipline, and ambition among Nigeria’s next generation of female leaders.
Speaking on “The Role of Self-Care in Empowering the Girl Child: Building Resilience and Shaping Her Vision for the Future,” Olukemi Ogunsakin, Corporate Communications Manager at Rite Foods Limited, explained how self-care can serve as a transformative tool for building confidence and resilience among girls.
“Beyond being a personal habit, self-care is a form of empowerment, one that nurtures self-worth, promotes self-awareness, and ultimately inspires a generation of girls who are bold, resilient, and ready to create positive change in their communities,” she said.
Ogunsakin further highlighted Rite Foods’ unwavering commitment to education, empowerment, and inclusion.
“At Rite Foods, we believe empowerment starts with access to education, the right information, and equal opportunities,” she stated. “When young girls recognise their value and strength, they not only shape their own futures but also drive positive change in their sphere of influence. Supporting this initiative is our way of investing in a brighter and more inclusive Nigeria.”
Since its inception in 2023, the Empower Her initiative has mentored and educated hundreds of girls, equipping them with essential knowledge, confidence, and life skills to make informed choices for their future.
Jenny Ukpai, Founder of the Lifelong Impact and Welfare Foundation and Convener of Empower Her by JennyUK, commended Rite Foods for its dedication to youth empowerment and community development.
“This year’s partnership with Rite Foods reinforces our mission to create a more informed, inclusive, and empowered generation of young women,” she said.
Through impactful initiatives such as Empower Her, Rite Foods continues to demonstrate its role as a socially responsible and community-driven brand. The company’s efforts fall under its EYEC Corporate Social Responsibility framework, which focuses on education, youth empowerment, and community well-being.
