Enterprise Bank Limited has reached out to two less privileged homes in Lagos state in a bid to continually touch lives in the society as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
The beneficiaries of the visit where consumable items were donated include the Holy Family Home for the Elderly, managed by Regina Mundi Catholic Church in Mushin area of Lagos State and The Arrows of God Orphanage, Ajah.
Delivering bags of rice to the homes and a goodwill message from the bank’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mallam Ahmed Kuru, the Head of Corporate Communications, Mrs. Olusola Longe Okenimkpe said that the essence of the visit and donation was to make the elderly ones among us to feel accepted and loved irrespective of the fact that they are not in their homes.
According to her, this is also relevant as a reward for their contributions and services to their families and the country at large. She also called on other corporate organisations and wealthy individuals in the country to lend their support to the less privileged homes, especially the ones that cater for old people since old age has a lot of challenges that require patience and huge resources.
Delighted by the visit from the bank, Mercy Honvo, who received the donation on behalf of the elderly Home, thanked Enterprise Bank for the kind gesture when she declared, “Thank you for your visit, gifts and thoughtfulness. May God bless you and your organisation for remembering us and contributing to the upkeep of these elderly citizens that we have in this Home. We will continue to ensure that they receive the best attention they desire.”
