AXA Mansard Investments Ltd., a member of the AXA Mansard Group has extended its financial literacy programme to four public primary schools in Lagos.
The company said in a statement on Monday that the initiative was part of efforts to promote youth empowerment and community development.
It said the programmes were carried out under the company’s employee volunteering platform, AXA Hearts in Action (AHIA).
According to the statement, the programme featured interactive sessions with pupils of Victoria Island Primary School, Awoyaya Primary School, Federal Housing Estate Primary School, and Ansar-Ud-Deen Primary School.
During the sessions, AXA Mansard staff educated the pupils on basic financial management, saving habits and digital awareness, with the aim of building early understanding of responsible money habits.
Speaking during the outreach, Deji Tunde-Anjous, Chief Executive Officer of AXA Mansard Investments, said the initiative was designed to instill the principles of responsible financial behaviour from an early age.
He said it was also meant to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a growth mindset among young learners.
“At AXA Mansard Investments, we believe that the earlier young people are introduced to financial literacy, the better equipped they will be to make smart money decisions in the future.
“Through our AXA Hearts in Action programme, our employees are taking meaningful steps to build a financially aware generation,” he said.
Tunde-Anjous explained that the outreach was part of the company’s broader vision of creating lasting social impact through education and empowerment.
He said that by introducing financial concepts early, children could grow into adults who are both financially responsible and forward-thinking.
Beyond classroom engagement, AXA Mansard volunteers also donated stationery and learning materials to the participating pupils.
The exercise forms part of AXA Mansard’s purpose of “Acting for Human Progress by Protecting What Matters,” a philosophy that highlights its belief in empowering young minds as a pathway to building stronger, more sustainable communities.
According to the company, the AXA Hearts in Action initiative has already impacted over 5,000 people in 2025 alone, with over 900 AXA Mansard employees participating in at least one volunteering activity across the country.
The statement said that through such engagements, AXA Mansard Investments continued to demonstrate that corporate responsibility extended beyond business operations.
It stressed that it involved shaping the future by investing in the education and empowerment of the next generation.
