As part of its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), Zenith General Insurance Limited has donated food items and essential supplies to Heritage Homes and Children Anchor Orphanage Home in Lagos, reaffirming its dedication to improving the lives of vulnerable children.
During the outreach, senior representatives from Zenith General Insurance emphasized that the initiative reflects the company’s values of empathy, compassion, and community impact.
Edith Agu, Senior Manager, Head Office Marketing and South-South Branches, said the visit was part of the firm’s ongoing effort to give back to society.
“This initiative was designed to show the children that they are cared for and valued. We believe organizations should plan and make budgetary provisions for the improvement of their communities,” she stated.
Homes Express Gratitude
At Heritage Homes, Social Worker Mrs. Mosopefoluwa expressed deep appreciation for the visit, recalling that the home was established 19 years ago by Pastor Ituah, to provide a safe haven for abandoned and vulnerable children.
“We depend largely on donations and walk-in visitors who often become long-term sponsors. We are very happy and hopeful that this marks the start of a lasting relationship,” she said.
Similarly, at Children Anchor Orphanage Home, founded in 2020, Supervisor Mr. Olajide Ola Bankole described the visit as timely, noting that the home, which cares for over 35 children, relies heavily on faith, online awareness, and goodwill.
“We are really grateful. We are not the only orphanage, but you chose to support us,” he told the Zenith team.
‘Restoring Hope, Bringing Joy’
Members of the Zenith delegation also shared messages of encouragement with the children. Abimbola Sarumi, Deputy Head of IT, said the visit was about “putting extra smiles on the faces of our children – our tomorrow.”
Head of Internal Control and Audit, Muyiwa Aderibigbe, added that the outreach mirrors the company’s core purpose.
“This activity speaks to one of our values – empathy. We want you to stay hopeful because our business is about restoring joy and bringing hope,” he said.
Despite economic challenges, the Zenith team reaffirmed its commitment to sustained community engagement and urged other corporate bodies to follow suit.
“These are trying times, but businesses must look beyond profit to make real impact in society,” Aderibigbe added.
