Maritime Journalists under the aegis of the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria (SCAN) on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, paid a charity visit to Chosen Child Orphanage and Care Centre in Lagos State as part of the association’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Led by its President, Mr. Moses Ebosele, the SCAN delegation interacted with the children and caregivers at the home, sharing moments of encouragement, goodwill and fellowship. The visit also featured the presentation of food items and cash support to assist the orphanage in meeting the welfare, nutritional and general upkeep needs of the children.
Speaking during the visit, Ebosele said the initiative reflects SCAN’s belief in giving back to society and supporting vulnerable members of the community. He noted that caring for children without parental support is a collective responsibility that should not be left to a few individuals.
“You don’t have to be a millionaire or billionaire before you support others. We all have a role to play in supporting the vulnerable in our communities,” Ebosele said.
Accompanied by Mrs. Aisha Cole of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and Cynthia Alo of Vanguard Newspaper, the SCAN President commended the management of the orphanage for their dedication and compassion in providing shelter, care and education for the children, describing their efforts as impactful and worthy of continued support.
In appreciation, the founder and matron of Chosen Child Orphanage and Care Centre, Mrs Loisa Ayuba expressed gratitude to SCAN for the timely donations, describing them as meaningful contributions that would go a long way in meeting the needs of the children.
According to Ebosele, the visit underscores the association’s commitment to social impact initiatives aimed at improving lives and fostering sustainable community development in Lagos State and beyond.
