To foster unity, promote diversity, and strengthen family bonds, AXA Mansard Insurance Plc recently held a colourful and engaging Family Week event at Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island, Lagos. The gathering brought together staff, clients, their families, and partners to celebrate the power of connection and shared values.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Olusesan Ogungoye, Head of Marketing at AXA Mansard, emphasised the significance of building strong family and workplace ties.
“We believe in the warmth, sense of belonging, and the joy that families bring to our organisation,” he said.
“Family comes in all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds, and we honour that diversity through events like this.”
As partnership for advocacy, AXA Mansard also used the platform to highlight its strategic partnership with the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency to promote child rights, especially for the girl child, through education, advocacy, and protection.
“We are committed to raising awareness and empowering future generations through safe, inclusive environments,” Ogungoye added.
The atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy as children participated in swimming, face painting, games, and a bouncing castle.
Throughout the week-long celebration, the forum featured various activities including Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) drives, leadership training in schools, community clean-ups, empowerment sessions, grooming competitions, music, and dance.
It also provided opportunities for families to network, learn from each other, and celebrate shared traditions and milestones.
