SanlamAllianz Nigeria has reinforced its commitment to education and community development through a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative at Gbara Community Senior Secondary School, Eti-Osa, marking the International Day of Education.
Led by the SanlamAllianz Women’s Network (SAWN), the initiative reached over 240 students, providing essential educational materials, care packs, and books to strengthen the school’s library and support learning outcomes.
Beyond donations, the program focused on motivation and personal development, encouraging students to strive for academic excellence, build resilience, and prioritize self-care as a foundation for long-term success.
Empowering Communities Through Education
Ogechi Ekwosimba, SAWN President and Growth Manager, Alternate Distribution, highlighted the network’s dual mission: empowering women within the organization while positively impacting communities across Nigeria. She emphasized that education remains a critical driver of sustainable development, both socially and economically.
A keynote address by Abimbola Lawson, Company Secretary and Head of Legal & Compliance, reinforced the message, describing education as a key tool for self-reliance, informed decision-making, and purposeful living.
The school’s principal, Abosede Oyewole, expressed gratitude for the support, noting that the donated resources would be fully utilized to enhance student learning.
