Joan Agha: International Women’s Day 2026 Celebration
The Joan Agha Foundation proudly commemorated International Women’s Day 2026 under the theme “Give To Gain.”
As part of our commitment to advancing SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG 5 (Gender Equality), we provided financial empowerment support to ten women to strengthen their businesses and promote economic independence.
The Chairman of the foundation, Lady (Lt. Col.) M. A. Obigho (Rtd.), in her remarks warmly welcomed the guests and congratulated them on the International Women’s Day and appreciated them making themselves available and taking advantage of the keynote address which is tackling a very pertinent topic, the new tax law.
The event also featured an enlightening keynote presentation by Mr. Adewale Adebola, BSc, ACA, on “The New Tax Law: All You Need to Know.”
At the Joan Agha Foundation, we believe that when women are empowered, families and communities thrive.
Together, let us continue to Give To Gain.
Dr. Mrs. Joan Agha
