Heirs Insurance Group has launched a groundbreaking initiative to empower underserved communities through upcycling, aligning with its sustainability goals.
Under the banner of “The Good Project,” the group sensitized communities to the benefits of transforming waste materials into reusable items, promoting environmental conservation while uplifting financial well-being.
The initiative also included the donation of school supplies and cash to over 500 schoolchildren in the Makoko community of Lagos.
Dubbed The Good Plastic Project, this effort underscores the Group’s commitment to environmental sustainability and community development. Partnering with Slum2School Africa and Eco Barter—organizations that share its vision for social impact—the project aims to reduce waste, support economic empowerment, and improve lives.
Speaking on the initiative, Niyi Onifade, Sector Head of Heirs Insurance Group, said, “Through this project, we are demonstrating the potential of sustainability, emphasizing its role in improving lives while preserving the environment. We are not only reducing waste and uplifting communities, but we are also creating awareness of the financial benefits that upcycling offers.”
Onifade added that the monetary donation and school supplies were provided to offer hope and relief to families, particularly at the start of a new year when such support is most needed.
As part of Heirs Insurance Group’s flagship sustainability initiatives, The Good Project showcases the company’s dedication to integrating sustainability into its core operations. It reflects the power of corporate responsibility in driving meaningful change.
Heirs Insurance Group, a subsidiary of Heirs Holdings—one of Africa’s leading investment companies—continues to expand its retail footprint and digital presence.
With a strong commitment to serving both individual and corporate customers across Nigeria, the company is setting new standards for environmental and social impact in the insurance industry.
