Three Crowns empowers women at August Meeting

Three Crowns Milk, a dairy brand operated by FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, celebrated thousands of women at the 2026 August Meeting held in Owerri, Imo State. This annual cultural gathering, one of the largest in South-East Nigeria, united women from diverse communities and backgrounds for activities focused on community development, networking, empowerment, and social interaction. The event took place on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Umuorii Field.

A significant aspect of the celebration was Three Crowns Milk's empowerment initiative, which provided training and practical knowledge in health, finance, and agriculture to women. Furthermore, 30 women from underserved communities received equipment to help them establish or expand their businesses. This initiative aimed to empower women beyond just celebrating them by equipping them with tools to enhance their wellbeing and economic resilience.

The event welcomed the First Lady of Imo State, Chioma Uzodimma, who was represented by Nduka Ijeoma, the wife of the Managing Director of the Anambra-Imo River Basin Development Authority. Actress and influencer Ebelle Okaro also attended the gathering. Speaking at the event, Maureen Ifada, the Marketing Director of FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, emphasized the company's commitment to supporting women due to their role in building stronger families and communities.

She stated, "At FrieslandCampina WAMCO, we believe that when women thrive, families and communities flourish. Through Three Crowns Milk, we remain committed to creating platforms that celebrate, support, and empower mothers because they are the foundation of healthier families and stronger societies."

Chioma Otisi-Igwe, the Marketing Manager of Three Crowns Milk, added that supporting mothers involved more than just providing nutrition; it meant creating opportunities for women to thrive. She explained, "At Three Crowns Milk, we believe supporting mothers goes beyond providing good nutrition; it means creating opportunities that empower them to thrive.

Through the August Meeting, we are proud to celebrate women, promote healthier living, and equip them with practical tools to improve their wellbeing, strengthen their economic resilience, and better care for themselves and their families."
