Fidelity Bank has taken a step to support maternal health in Lagos by donating maternity kits to expectant mothers across the state. The initiative, part of the bank’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, aims to promote safe childbirth and improve the well-being of women in underserved communities.
At the donation event held in Lagos, the bank distributed essential items such as baby clothes, diapers, antiseptics, and other maternal care products. The kits are designed to ease the financial burden on expectant mothers and ensure they have access to basic necessities during childbirth.
Speaking at the event, Fidelity Bank’s Executive Director, Morohunke Bammeke, reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to empowering women and enhancing healthcare access. “We recognize the critical role women play in shaping our society and remain committed to initiatives that promote their health and well-being,” she said.
Beneficiaries of the program expressed gratitude for the gesture, noting that the support would go a long way in addressing some of their immediate needs. Many highlighted the rising cost of maternal and infant care products and welcomed the intervention as timely.
Healthcare professionals attending the event emphasized the importance of collaborations between the private sector and healthcare providers in improving maternal and child health outcomes. They called on other corporate organizations to emulate Fidelity Bank’s efforts and invest in community health initiatives.
This donation is one of several CSR projects undertaken by Fidelity Bank to address societal challenges and promote sustainable development. The bank has previously supported education, environmental sustainability, and economic empowerment programs across Nigeria.
As the initiative continues, Fidelity Bank aims to reach more women in need, reaffirming its role as a socially responsible institution committed to making a positive impact in the communities it serves.
