Chief Executive of Integrity Logistics and Consult Limited and a local partner of Apave Ghana Inspection, Yaa Amoako-Adu has mentioned that in the next ten years, she dreams of empowering 200 young women to reach their highest potential.

Through her not-for-profit organization Virtuous Boardroom where she doubles as the President, Miss Amoako-Adu has so far set up 30 teenage mothers in various vocational training. 

“During COVID, some teenagers got pregnant and had to stop school. Together with my team, we scanned through the areas in Western Region that we could help them and we settled on Ahanta East area where the rate of teenage pregnancies around that time was high” Miss Amoako-Adu revealed the intention behind the ‘IMPACT’ project.

Asked what the next ten years holds for her, the 40 Under 40 oil and gas winner mentioned that she sets her target at empowering 200 young women to reach their highest potential.

She is confident that since the Virtuous Boardroom has set off on a good note by empowering young women in less than a year by putting them into vocations and providing sanitary towels to female students of the Effiakuma cluster of schools, her dream of empowering 200 young women to reach their highest potential remains unabated.
