Consolidated Hallmark Inspires Girls in Lagos and Abuja Through International Women’s Day CSR Outreach
Consolidated Hallmark Holdings Plc commemorated this year’s International Women's Day with a purposeful Corporate Social Responsibility outreach at Baptist Senior High School, Lagos and the Sisters of the Redeemer School, Ketti Village, FCT, Abuja, embracing the global theme “Give To Gain.” The initiative was designed to inspire and empower young girls to recognise their potential, build confidence, and pursue their aspirations with determination.
The Group operates through several subsidiaries, including Consolidated Hallmark Insurance Limited, CHI Life Assurance Limited, Hallmark Health Services Limited, and Hallmark Finance Company Limited, all of which contribute to its commitment to social impact and community development.
The event brought together female students, teachers, and representatives of the Consolidated Hallmark Group in an engaging session that blended mentorship, learning, and fun activities. The programme featured motivational presentations, interactive games, and moments for students to share their impressions of classmates, teachers, and the school leadership, creating an atmosphere of laughter, reflection, and encouragement.
Speaking during the outreach, Mary Adeyanju, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Hallmark Insurance Limited, encouraged the students to see themselves as future leaders and changemakers.
“Today, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, I look beyond the classroom and see a generation of future leaders, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, scientists, and innovators. The opportunities before you exist because courageous women before us challenged limitations and opened doors for others. Now, it is your turn to dream boldly, work hard, and shape the future of our nation. The next chapter of women’s leadership will be written by girls like you,” she said.
Also addressing the students, Ejiro Efekoha-Momoh, Group Head of Underwriting at Consolidated Hallmark Insurance Limited, shared her personal journey and encouraged the girls to remain confident in the pursuit of their goals.
“Growing up, I had moments of doubt and often wondered what the future held for me. But I learned that having doubts is part of the journey. What truly matters is believing in yourself, staying committed to your goals, and using your voice with confidence. Every day gives you a chance to make a difference, and no dream is too big for a girl who believes in her potential,” she noted.
As part of the celebration, the company presented several gifts to the students to commemorate the occasion. In a special moment of recognition, the Managing Director/CEO also presented a cash gift of ₦50,000.00 to the Head Girl, Ogundepo Sofiat Ayomide, in appreciation of her leadership and academic dedication as confirmed by all the students.
In Abuja, the women of Consolidated Hallmark Holdings Plc, led by Tejiri Aghware, Marketing Head, Wuse, Abuja extended the International Women’s Day outreach to Redeemer School in Ketti Village, FCT, Abuja. During the visit, the team engaged the students in a meaningful conversation on the importance of education for the girl child, encouraging them to remain focused on their studies and aspirations. To support their learning journey, the team donated exercise books and textbooks, while also providing financial assistance to help cover the school fees of some of the students.
Nana Firdausi, Marketer, Consolidated Hallmark Holdings Plc, said: “Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream beyond her immediate environment. Our visit was not only about giving books or financial support, but about reminding these young girls that education can open doors to possibilities they may not yet imagine.”
The outreach reflects Consolidated Hallmark Holdings Plc’s continued commitment to empowering communities, supporting education, and investing in the development of young people who will shape the future of society. Through initiatives like this, the Group continues to demonstrate that giving back creates lasting value for individuals and communities alike.
