Obioma Ubah, partner and corporate responsibility leader of PwC Nigeria, said in the statement that the annual charity initiative, popularly known as 5for5, is one of the ways the firm is making a greater societal impact in line with its strategy and supporting organisations working to deliver Sustainable Development Goals.
He said: “This year we did not have our usual 5km walk. Instead, we had our people and teams visit these charities to make the presentations and engage them on their work and the other ways we can support them.
“Those visits were richly rewarding experiences for our people and align with our drive to encourage more volunteering for a greater sustainable impact on our society.”
The 2023 beneficiaries of the company’s initiative are CrimsonBow Sickle Cell Initiative, One Africa Child Foundation for Creative Learning, the Talent Mine Academy, Victorine Home for Children, Abuja, Sponsor A Child Through School and Batyu Sekeenah Orphanage, Lagos.
“We are very proud of our staff and partners who made this possible through their voluntary donations. We thank them for showing care, living our values, and making a sustainable impact. We also encourage the beneficiaries to continue to make a difference through their various courses,” Obioma said.
