The Princess Anita Teens Development Initiative (PATDI) has enrolled 50 young girls into the AFS Vocational Hub for Special Skills, reaffirming its commitment to youth empowerment and community development.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the training programme in Abuja, the Convener and Executive Director of PATDI, Princess Anita Umeweni, announced that the enrolment marks the final batch of the organization’s 2025 vocational training programme.
> “We have successfully enrolled 50 young girls into the AFS Vocational Hub for Special Skills, marking the last batch of our 2025 vocational training programme,” she said.
Princess Umeweni noted that the initiative—supported by the Danjuma Foundation and AFS Vocational Hub—is designed to equip young women with practical skills and knowledge that will enable them to become self-reliant and productive members of society.
She explained that by the end of the three-week training, each participant would have the tools and confidence to turn potential into purpose and achieve sustainable independence.
Highlighting PATDI’s long-term vision, Princess Umeweni said the training, which began on November 5, 2025, represents a major stride toward the organization’s Vision 2035, which seeks to build a crime-free and self-reliant society.
> “We are proud to lead the way with innovative programmes that transform lives and restore hope,” she stated.
“Together, we are proving that a crime-free society is not a dream but a possibility—when we invest in people, purpose, and progress. We must get it right, and with partnerships like these, we will.”
