Aquadana extends CSR to children living cancer

Ashmina Limited, makers of Aquadana, one of Nigeria’s premier brand of table water, has supported the Children Living with Cancer Foundation as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility programme.

Speaking at the Childhood Cancer Awareness Walkathon organized by the Children Living with Cancer Foundation in Lagos, Glory Esen, senior sales manager of Ashmina Limited said, not many are aware that there are children living with cancer and this platform provides such great opportunity to create further awareness not just about cancer but as it concerns people, particularly children, living with it.

We also supported the foundation earlier to organize a quiz completion and art exhibition. Children from various schools in Lagos joined these afflicted children in the contest and in an effort toward making the children feel a sense of belonging in the society. Children are the world’s most valuable resource and we believe that a great way to show love to them is to support and partner initiatives like this.’’

International Childhood Cancer Day is a global collaborative campaign to raise awareness about childhood cancer, and to express support for children and adolescents living with cancer and their families. The day promotes increased appreciation and deeper understanding of issues and challenges impacting childhood cancer patients and improving survival success. It also spotlights the need for more equitable and better access to treatment and care for all children with cancer, everywhere.

The day encourages individuals and organizations to stand up and speak out for kids with cancer, survivors of cancer, and their families. It is a call for solidarity in action: joining voices, connecting forces, and connecting initiatives when responding to the needs of all stakeholders working tirelessly to maximize the efforts and resources for promoting early detection and cures.

Aquadana is the first water brand in Nigeria to be produced by a company employing ISO 9001:2015 quality management systems. Offered in a variety of pack sizes and dispenser for all conveniences, the company’s mission is to deliver superior customer satisfaction through people engagement in a safe and environmentally friendly way.
