In keeping with the times as occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic, Mamador recently hosted the first ever virtual August Women meeting.

The August Women Meeting is a women gathering recognised amongst the Igbo community as the annual homecoming congress. The gathering has been used over the years as a forum for Igbo women in diaspora and in the cities to travel back to their villages to meet with their local counterparts to discuss matters pertaining to community development and other cultural and socio-economic initiatives.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic posed a major threat to the gathering for this year’s August Women Meeting, owing to the fact that many are keeping safe and unable to travel, especially those in diaspora.
