PalmPay commits to driving financial inclusion
Over 150 children, some with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, deafness, and blindness, participated in fun games, educational workshops, and interactive storytelling sessions. They also received gifts designed to inspire and entertain them.
This initiative, organized by Ayela Charity Foundation, was in partnership with PalmPay and Venture Garden Foundation to give the children a voice and future.
Enakeno Umuteme, Head of Marketing and Communication at PalmPay, highlighted the company's core mission of financial inclusion and a commitment to supporting future generations of Nigerians.
"Our mission at PalmPay is to drive financial inclusion by empowering people and businesses and fostering economic growth. On this Children's Day, we celebrate kids and their limitless potential," said Mr. Umuteme.
"Children are the future. PalmPay is committed to community support and child welfare. We aim to create lasting memories and remind these children that they are valued and capable of achieving great things," he said.
Children express gratitude to organizers
Also speaking, Bukola Ayele, co-founder of the Ayela Charity Foundation, asked governments at all levels to initiate policies that would provide more protection to orphans and vulnerable children in society.
One of the children from the orphanage, Israel Adegbite, expressed gratitude to PalmPay and other organizers, noting that he enjoyed several activities at the event and was happy to compete with other children.
"I want to thank the foundation and PalmPay for putting this together, thank you very much. God bless you, I learned a lot from the career talk," he said.
Children's Day is celebrated worldwide to honour and promote the well-being and rights of children. The date and traditions vary by country, but the essence remains the same: recognising the importance of children.
