Jude Onuoha is deeply committed to empowering young people, with a particular focus on the development of the girl-child, who is often marginalised in terms of access to empowerment, training, education, and re-education opportunities. With over 15 years of experience in career counselling, youth management, and life coaching, I have guided countless young people in building confidence, pursuing their goals, and achieving independence. My expertise in financial management and microeconomics, applied in youth literacy programs, equips me to provide strategic oversight and sustainable support for initiatives that transform lives. As a long-standing member of the Young Christian Workers movement, where I currently serve as Director of Financial and Strategic Planning, a member of the International Young Christian Workers Movement (IYCWM), and a participant in the professional think tank THE FACULTY, which seeks to provide robust solutions to the challenges facing young people, I bring proven leadership, mentoring, and organisational skills. Driven by a genuine desire to see young people succeed, I am dedicated to contributing my experience, insight, and passion to further the vision of Our Love’s Alive Foundation for Girl-child Empowerment, which includes nurturing resilient and empowered young people.
