Checka Ambrose’s journey reflects the steady growth of a leader who has consistently delivered on his promise to serve his people. From his early days as a councillor under the original SWOPA project, to becoming one of the most trusted voices in Aromo, Ambrose’s leadership story is one of resilience and upward momentum.

Having honed his skills in inclusive leadership, dialogue, and accountability through SWOPA 1 and 2, Ambrose quickly became a community figure to watch. His track record of integrity and service set him apart in a political environment often dominated by money and patronage.

In 2025, his commitment was rewarded when he secured the NRM ticket for Aromo after a tough and competitive race. This was not just a personal win—it was a clear demonstration that communities value leaders who prioritize service over self-interest.

The same year, Ambrose was also entrusted with another leadership role, elected Chairperson of the School Management Committee of Apua Primary School. His election to this education leadership position reinforces his growing influence and the confidence the community places in him to steer institutions that matter most to families and children.

For WLEDE, Ambrose’s story is a vivid example of sustained impact. From SWOPA’s original training sessions to the expanded opportunities in SWOPA 2, Ambrose embodies the vision of producing leaders who rise step by step, translating knowledge into action, and action into trust.

His continued rise shows that once a leader has been nurtured, mentored, and supported, their promise blossoms into influence, and their influence into lasting community change.
