A Lagos-based organisation, GVS Cosmetics on Wednesday distributed materials and cosmetics to some babies born, to mark the New Year celebration.
The Managing Director of the company, Chief Ebere Nwosu, said the organisation was passionate about supporting new mothers.
Nwosu, who was represented by Mrs Lucy Odumu, a Pharmacist and General Manager, Marketing of the company, said its action was part of its corporate social responsibility and the need to play roles that would put smiles on faces of citizens.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that staff of the organisation visited three general hospitals across Lagos to celebrate with the new mothers and their babies and donating personal care products to them.
At the Gbagada General Hospital, the beauty and skincare brand gave children materials and its products to Mrs Medina Olayiwola and Mrs Esther Joseph.
Also, at the Maternal and Child Centre, Ajah, the company distributed babies materials to Mrs Christabel Akpat, Mrs Rianat Idowu, Mrs Doris Okeke, Mrs Happiness Mathias, and Mrs Funmilayo Jagbojagbo, who had new born babies in the New Year.
The team of the company also visited the Maternal and Child Centre, Amuwo Odofin where Mrs Oluchi Moses and Mrs. Esther Onyeme were also gifted babies wears and cosmetics.
Speaking, Nwosu said that new mothers deserved attention.
“Our company has always had this zeal to touch lives, especially new mothers and their babies.
“We must put all these together for the benefit of the mothers and the new entrants to the world.
“During childbirth and immediately after it, women are at their most vulnerable, as they now have new lives to care for.
“This initiative aims to bring smiles to the faces of these mothers by giving them personal care and beauty products to take care of themselves and their babies, making them feel good,” Nwosu said..
He noted that the company was committed to promoting maternal and child care in society.
Nwosu added: “Initially, we planned to visit eight hospitals, but due to logistics and feedback, we settled for the three hospitals.
“This initiative aims to become a lifetime event with activities lined up for other significant internationally recognised days,” he added.
The team commended the staff of the hospitals for helping those they described as “mothers in need.”
While appreciating the team, some of the beneficiaries urged other kind-hearted individuals to emulate the kind gesture and share love at all times.
“We thank you and your company for these gifts. You have shown that Nigerians are good people.
This is an opportunity to ask Nigerians to always support one another for the society to be great,” Mrs. Olayiwola said. (NAN)
