Judith Kokui Azumah has been named a finalist in the Health Category of the MTN Heroes of Change 2025 for her pioneering work in women’s addiction recovery in Ghana. As the founder of the Restored and Renewed Centre in the Eastern Region, Judith established the country’s first and only all-female rehabilitation facility, offering a safe and supportive space for women struggling with substance use disorders. Her center blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with the renowned 12-Steps Program, helping women address the root causes of addiction and build lasting recovery skills.

Judith’s efforts have led to the reunification of over 30 families, supported dozens of women on their recovery journeys, and provided training for non-medical personnel in addiction care. She is also recognized nationally for her expertise, serving as a certified addiction professional and trainer, and partnering with other treatment facilities to improve outcomes.

Her selection as one of the top 10 finalists highlights the vital impact of her work. The MTN Heroes of Change initiative, organized by the MTN Ghana Foundation, honors individuals and organizations making significant contributions in Health, Education, and Economic Empowerment. Finalists will be featured in a 13-week television series, with the overall Hero of Change receiving GHS 100,000 and category winners receiving GHS 50,000 to further their projects.
