Beneficiaries of the welfare package were indigent children in Eti-Osa, Surulere, Ibeju-Lekki, and Kosofe, Local Government Areas of Lagos state.

“To make the day memorable, the Foundation supported 1,000 children with nutritional support to cushion the effect of COVID -19 on families and educational materials to promote continuous learning,” the statement read in part.

“Also, members of the Ovie Brume Foundation Youth Centre did a write-up on what Children’s Day means to them which was featured on the social media.

“The 2-day activities offered an inspirational entry-point to advocate, promote and celebrate children’s rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children.”
