AIICO Insurance Plc has emphasised the vital role of mindful inclusion of visually impaired children within the society.
Mrs Abimbola Shobanjo, AIICO’s Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Manager, made the call on Thursday during a visit to Bethesda Home and School for the Blind in commemoration of the 2025 Children’s Day.
Shobanjo said the kind gesture was a commitment to inclusive and impactful corporate social responsibility.
She said, “Children’s Day is a powerful reminder of the hope that young lives carry.
“At AIICO, we are intentional about reaching every child, especially those who are less privileged or differently abled.
“Our visit to Bethesda is about more than giving; it’s about recognising their worth, reminding them that they matter, and reaffirming our belief that they belong and have a bright future ahead.”
Shobanjo noted that the initiative was part of AIICO Insurance’s broader strategy to drive meaningful social change, championing education, inclusion, and the well-being of vulnerable groups across Nigeria.
Beyond the donation of essential food items and gifts, AIICO staff spent quality time with the 286 children at the home listening, learning, and sharing laughter.
The leadership of Bethesda Home & School for the Blind expressed deep appreciation for the visit and generosity shown by AIICO, noting the positive emotional impact it had on both the children and staff.
