Through Cookhouse GH, she has empowered young women by providing them with employment opportunities and mentorship for personal and professional growth.
Her business has catered for corporate and diplomatic events, including serving five branches of the Bank of Africa, positioning Cookhouse GH as a trusted name in the Ghanaian food industry.
Looking to the future, Ms. Adzah has expressed plans to expand Cookhouse GH to operate mobile food trucks across Accra’s suburbs and establish outlets at Ghana’s airports to showcase local cuisine on the international stage.
Supporters at the ceremony praised her dedication and resilience. “Your remarkable journey is a shining example for our young women, showcasing unwavering passion, unrelenting drive, and unshakeable resilience,” Mr. Hlodze noted, encouraging her to ignore detractors and remain focused on her transformative mission.
