40,000 people in six Nigerian cities are to benefit from PZ Cussons Foundation in collaboration with Foundation for Refugee Economic Empowerment’s donation of soaps towards controlling the spread of COVID-19, a statement has said. Foundation for Refugee Economic Empowerment (FREE) is the UK and Nigerian Charity that aims to provide high quality, timely, accountable, and inclusive humanitarian assistance to displaced persons towards enabling them to return to normal and sustainable productive lives.

This, according to the statement was disclosed by Eyitayo Lambo, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of PZ Cussons Foundation.

Eyitayo Lambo said, “We have since learned that one of the simple ways to stay protected against the coronavirus is by consistent handwashing with soap. Sadly, however, not everyone can afford to do this. So, the PZ Cussons Foundation has partnered with FREE to ensure that even the most vulnerable communities are catered for at such a time as this to support the ongoing efforts to stem the spread and contain the virus in Nigeria.”

According to him, this kind gesture is to be extended to many vulnerable communities in other regions in the country.
