In
line with its Corporate Social Responsibility thrust, PEP Stores
Nigeria, a leading multinational retail company specialized in clothing,
Home wear, footwear, as well as other fast moving consumer goods has
reached out to three orphanages in Nigeria; Beth Torry Home for the
mentally handicapped, Little Saint Orphanage and Hearth of Gold Hospice
by renovating some part of their buildings and donating items worth over
20 million Naira.
According
PEP the donations of the items to the Orphanages and the renovations is
in line with the company’s strong belief in giving back to the society
in which it operates as a socially responsible corporate citizen.
"This
Corporate Social Responsibility initiative is part of our brand’s DNA.
PEP believes in giving back to the communities it serves and each PEP
region is empowered to give back to the communities at a local level,"
said PEP.
PEP
also revealed that the renovation of the three orphanages which
involves fixing of doors, furniture and painting was carried out at a
value of about N1.5 million while PEP employees, known as Dynamos in the
company’s parlance, also donated money that was used to help some
needful organizations.
"To
achieve this, we worked in partnership with Cussun Generators to pool
our limited resources together to fix the roofs of some of the homes and
we have also started a vegetable growing programme and provide
Physiotherapy visits to these homes," PEP added.
PEP
would continue to contribute meaningfully to the Nigerian community by
embarking on special CSR projects during every financial year of the
company.
It
would be recalled that PEP Stores made its entry into the Nigerian
market in 2012 and has so far open about 27 stores across the country
offering quality and affordable clothing and footwear to its esteemed
customers.
