Mouka Partners With Lagos Food Bank To Support Vulnerable Mothers, Children

In a powerful demonstration of corporate social responsibility, Mouka, Nigeria’s leading sleep solutions provider, has joined forces with the Lagos Food Bank for the Nutritious Meal Intervention for Vulnerable Mothers and Children (NUMEPLAN) program. This initiative aims to uplift the lives of at-risk mothers and children by addressing malnutrition and promoting overall well-being.

The Lagos Food Bank, a privately-run non-profit organization, has long been at the forefront of the battle against hunger and malnutrition in Nigeria. The organization’s efforts are focused on improving the nutrition and food intake of pregnant women and their infants who lack access to essential nutrients during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Through targeted programs like NUMEPLAN, the Lagos Food Bank is working to ensure that the most vulnerable populations in society receive the support they need to thrive.

Mouka’s participation in NUMEPLAN is a natural extension of its commitment to the well-being of Nigerians, particularly the most vulnerable among them. The company’s Senior Brand and Innovation Manager, Yemisi Obadina, emphasized Mouka’s dedication to comfort and health: “At Mouka, the comfort and health of Nigerians is our top priority. From our wide range of world-class sleep products to unparalleled service delivery, we are dedicated to our mission of adding comfort to the lives of Nigerians. Our commitment extends beyond our paying consumers to the vulnerable in society. We have 5 CSR pillars, which we invest significantly in annually, one of which is comfort for children. This partnership is a testament to our belief that a child’s wellbeing is significantly influenced by quality nutrition and sleep, areas where Mouka can make a difference.”

As part of its contribution to NUMEPLAN, Mouka donated 50 of its Dreamtime mattresses, which are specifically designed with children in mind. The Dreamtime mattress features a water-resistant yet breathable cover that prevents moisture from penetrating the foam core while ensuring the child remains cool and comfortable throughout the night. The mattress also offers the right density of foam to support growing bodies and is available in attractive designs suitable for both boys and girls.

Mouka’s involvement with the NUMEPLAN program is just one of many initiatives the company has undertaken this year to make a positive impact on society. In partnership with Herconomy, Nigeria’s first Fintech company dedicated to empowering female entrepreneurs and professionals, Mouka provided business grants to entrepreneurs, helping to support and sustain women-led businesses across the country. The company also collaborated with various state governments to welcome the first babies born in public hospitals nationwide, providing generous donations of its products and other baby items to ensure these newborns have a comfortable start in life.

Founded in 1959, Mouka has a rich history of innovation and leadership in the sleep industry. As a proud member of the Dolidol International Group, headquartered in Morocco, Mouka continues to set the standard for quality and comfort. Among its latest innovations is the Wellbeing Regal Plus mattress, designed with a pillow top and orthopedic core to support better posture and alleviate lower back pain.

Mouka’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and community engagement underscores its role as a market leader not just in the sleep industry, but in the broader effort to improve the lives of Nigerians. Through partnerships like the one with the Lagos Food Bank, Mouka is making a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable mothers and children, ensuring they have the nutrition and comfort they need to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
