Cablenews24 reports that one of the highlights of the celebration was an outreach program to United Christian Secondary School, Apapa, Lagos, where over 500 girls received mentorship from senior female employees of the company. The session covered topics such as leadership, education, personal development, and menstrual health awareness. The speakers drew from personal career experiences to motivate the students, urging them to remain focused on their education and resist distractions.

The company also donated textbooks, menstrual pads, and perfumes to the students, demonstrating its commitment to supporting the education and well-being of young girls. The outreach program was a testament to the power of women’s empowerment and the importance of mentoring and guiding the next generation of leaders.

In addition to the school outreach, SIFAX Group also organized an interactive webinar for female employees focused on strengthening communication and leadership capacity in the workplace. The webinar, which was titled “Speaking: A Tool for Growth, Multiplication, and Career Progression,” was facilitated by Public Speaking Strategist, Joyce Daniels. Daniels urged participants to embrace public speaking as a catalyst for professional advancement, noting that confidence and conviction are the cornerstones of effective communication.

The company’s Group Coordinating Director, Wunmi Eniola-Jegede, described International Women’s Day as a moment to celebrate the social, economic, and cultural achievements of women while renewing the call for gender equality. “This year’s theme, Give to Gain, resonates deeply with our mission of inclusivity and empowerment. Every woman is a leader in her own right, and giving back creates growth opportunities for individuals, organizations, and communities,” she said.

As part of its community outreach, SIFAX Group distributed 500 bags of assorted food items to vulnerable households in the Ijora community. Each pack was assembled with essential household staples, including rice, beans, vegetable oil, garri, and salt, carefully curated to provide tangible relief to families within the community. The distribution was conducted in collaboration with community leaders to ensure a transparent and orderly process.

The community outreach was a testament to the company’s culture of compassion and its determination to give back to the communities in which it operates.
