Today we participated in the Heart2Feed food and medical drive for more than 800 children in the Ajegunle slum.

In the spirit of Christmas we collaborated with Otres Restaurant, Dreams from the Slum, and Citadel Opticals to bring some cheer to the community.

Children all dressed up in their Christmas clothing

Our partners provided food and drinks and free eye screenings, and we conducted a health and hygiene education as part of our #ItStartsWithMe program.

Showing the other children how to wash their hands properly

From the dance competitions to the theatrical cultural dramas, it was a fun-filled day for all.

Look at all their clean hands!
