Press Release

In line with our commitment to making a positive difference in our communities, AELEX is proud to announce the successful execution of our recent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, in which we provided meals to 1,000 underserved school children in low-income communities across Lagos, Nigeria. This is in collaboration with Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI). This initiative reflects our dedication to supporting children’s health, well-being, and education through direct and impactful actions.

Through this programme which held on Thursday, 21st November, 2024, AELEX addressed the critical issue of child hunger and malnutrition, directly contributing to SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being. By providing nutritious meals, we are helping children concentrate on their studies and fostering an environment that promotes learning and growth. This effort aligns with our core values of compassion, responsibility, and community support, as well as our long-term commitment to supporting Nigeria’s next generation.

Beyond meal distribution, the event featured engaging activities such as pep talks to inspire the children to continue learning, and enlightening sessions about the importance of nutrition and how it can impact academic performance. Volunteers from AELEX and Lagos Food Bank Initiative were on-site, creating a supportive and uplifting environment for the children and their teachers.

"At AELEX, we believe that our role extends beyond providing exceptional services to our clients; we have a responsibility to give back to the society that supports us," said Theophilus Emuwa, a Founding Partner. "Feeding 1,000 school children is just one of the ways we are actively working to address social challenges and support SDG 4: Quality Education. We remain committed to making meaningful contributions that drive positive change."

As a leader in our industry, we understand the importance of using our resources and influence to support sustainable solutions that address critical issues facing our communities. We are eager to expand our CSR initiatives in the coming years, with a focus on programmes that advance education, health, and opportunities for Nigerian youths in alignment with SDG 1: No Poverty.

This feeding programme is part of a series of socially impactful projects led by AELEX aimed at creating equitable and prosperous communities. We extend our gratitude to our partners especially the Lagos Food Bank Initiative for the platform, volunteers, and everyone who made this initiative a success. Together, we have taken an important step towards creating a brighter and healthier future for the next generation.
