PwC Nigeria has unveiled six beneficiaries of its annual charity initiative for 2023, a
statement from the firm which was made available to newsmen said.
According to the statement, the charities were nominated and voted for by the staff and the
donation accrued from voluntary contributions made by both staff, and partners of the
firm. A total sum of N7.5 million was distributed to the six charities.
Commenting on the exercise, Obioma Ubah, partner and Corporate Responsibility
leader, PwC Nigeria noted: “Our annual charity initiative popularly known as 5for5 is one of the ways we are
making a greater societal impact in line with our strategy and supporting
organisations working to deliver Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“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 aligns with our drive to encourage more
volunteering for greater sustainable impact on our society.
“We also have six charities benefiting this year because the nomination and voting
by our staff produced a tie and we thought it was important to ensure that we
made a difference for as many charities as we could.”
According to the Firm, the 2023 beneficiaries include CrimsonBow Sickle Cell Initiative,
One Africa Child Foundation for Creative Learning, and the Talent Mine Academy. Others
are Victorine Home for children, Abuja, Sponsor A Child Through School (SACTS) and
Batyu Sekeenah Orphanage, Lagos.
