Heirs Insurance Group, Ni­geria’s fastest-growing insur­ance Group, has rolled out a project to empower under­served communities with the training and benefits inherent in upcycling, as part of its sus­tainability goals. Tagged “The Good proj­ect”, Heirs Insurance Group sensitised communities on the benefits of converting waste materials to reusable items, thereby reducing the consequences of climate ac­tion and uplifting the finan­cial status of people. In ad­dition, the insurance group provided school supplies and a cash donation to over 500 schoolchildren of Makoko community, Lagos.
