Two children centre and to orphanage homes were on ground to receive the one million Naira cash donation alongside other gift items.

Giwa who manages The Lagos State Government Children Centre in Idi-Araba lauded the efforts of LCM in reaching out to the Centre.
Mrs Silifatu Giwa explained that there are 52 children between the ages of six and 10 at the centre at the moment and that the centre has been able to take off children that have hitherto been left to roam the streets of Lagos with no hope or expectation.
