C.S.R: Unilever empowers communities in Abuja, Kwara, Lagos

Unilever Nigeria Plc’s detergent brand, OMO, has provided apparel and household supplies to NGOs in Abuja, Kwara, and Lagos States as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program aimed at empowering underprivileged populations.

The effort, which began with a request for Nigerians to give pre-loved clothing materials during the previous Ramadan season, resulted in the company receiving over 10,000 pieces of apparel across the country.

Chinonyerem Opara, Brand Manager at OMO, noted in a statement: “The OMO ‘Lend A Hand Of Care’ campaign started during the season of Ramadan when we saw a need to give back to the society. We asked the public to donate clothes to enable us to provide clothing to the less privileged or people that cannot afford good or decent clothes for themselves. We are immensely grateful to the well-meaning Nigerians who answered the call and made this possible.” 

The brand manager also stated that the firm considered the hygiene of receivers and ensured that all donated garments were cleaned with OMO before being packaged and given over.

“OMO as a brand of heritage has over the years evolved and has continued to remain innovative. This is because we see the need to constantly give parents the confidence to allow their kids to explore, be inquisitive, be curious and get dirty; so they can be the change-makers we all want them to be”, Opara added.
