One of Nigeria’s pension fund custodians, Zenith Pensions Custodian Limited, has partnered with Greatlife Changers Foundation to donate raw food materials and festive gifts to over 400 widows during the Yuletide.

In a statement on Monday, the custodian noted that the partnership was part of its 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.

The event, which took place in the Palmgrove area of Lagos, addressed the immediate needs of one of society’s most vulnerable groups, providing ‘joy boxes’ containing rice and other cooking condiments.

The firm said that beyond the material donations, the event served as a platform for emotional support and community bonding, ensuring that these women feel valued and celebrated during the festive season.

The Managing Director, Peters Eledu, emphasised, “Our 2025 CSR strategy is rooted in the belief that corporate success is hollow without community impact. For us at ZPC, this isn’t just about charity; it’s about acknowledging the resilience of these widows and ensuring they experience warmth and dignity this festive season.”

The President of the Great Life Changers Foundation, Chioma Dauji, expressed deep gratitude, noting that the collaboration significantly scaled their ability to reach those in need.

For many of the beneficiaries, the partnership provided the only festive support they would receive. The partnership with Greatlife Changers Foundation underscores ZPC’s commitment to social equity and its tradition of giving back to the Nigerian community.

“As a subsidiary of Zenith Bank Plc, ZPC continues to lead by example, proving that the nation’s most preferred pension fund custodian is also one of its most compassionate,” said the firm.
