In celebration of International Women’s Month, AACE Foods Processing and Distribution Limited has partnered with Just Theatre House to support and uplift female small-scale food retailers. This initiative underscores AACE Foods’ dedication to strengthening women-led businesses, promoting economic resilience, and ensuring access to quality nutrition.
Supporting Small-Scale Retailers
A major highlight of the event was AACE Foods’ direct support for 10 small-scale female food retailers, each receiving AACE Foods products worth N50,000. This initiative aims to:
Enhance their businesses
Improve product availability
Contribute to sustainable community growth
Women play a vital role in Nigeria’s retail sector but often face challenges such as limited access to capital, mentorship, and essential inventory. By providing these resources, AACE Foods is not just offering support but equipping women with the tools to scale their businesses, boost profitability, and serve their customers with high-quality, nutritious products.
Empowering Women Through Business and Storytelling
AACE Foods recognizes that women are at the heart of families, communities, and businesses, and their empowerment is critical for economic progress.
Through its partnership with Just Theatre House, the company is also leveraging storytelling as a tool for transformation. By bringing women’s experiences to the stage, the initiative sparks dialogue, awareness, and action toward gender equality and economic empowerment.
A Commitment to Women’s Growth
Gloria Nwabuike, Managing Director of AACE Foods, emphasized the importance of this initiative:
“At AACE Foods, we don’t just believe in empowering women—we take action. Our collaboration with Just Theatre House is a testament to our commitment to celebrating women’s resilience while providing tangible support to help them grow and succeed. Through this initiative, we are reinforcing the importance of nourishment, entrepreneurship, and community-driven progress.”
AACE Foods remains dedicated to championing initiatives that uplift women, foster business growth, and promote nutrition access, ensuring that every woman has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
