In partnership with GenerousMe, the initiative supports more than 2,000 affected individuals and families with essential food, clothing, and school supplies.

inDrive has provided over ₦75 million in relief to Lagos residents displaced by recent demolitions.

The initiative, delivered in partnership with humanitarian organisation, Tolu Aniwura Welfare Foundation (“GenerousMe”) took place at St. Paul Catholic Church, Ebute-Metta, and supports families and individuals affected by the community displacement.

The intervention reaches more than 2,000 beneficiaries, providing essential food items, clothing, bedding, baby care products, and school supplies. This support also extends to individuals who had previously benefited from inDrive-backed social impact programmes, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to empowering vulnerable communities across Nigeria.

The relief packages included essential dry food items such as rice, beans, garri, noodles, spaghetti, cooking oil, tomato paste, seasoning cubes, and salt. Beneficiaries also received clothing, blankets, sleeping mats, mosquito nets, rechargeable lamps, power banks, and baby care items, as well as school packs containing bags, exercise books, and writing materials for children.

Speaking on the intervention, Country Representative, inDrive Nigeria, Timothy Oladimeji, explained that the initiative reflects the company’s people-first approach and its commitment to responding directly to urgent community challenges while maintaining a focus on long-term empowerment across its markets.

“At inDrive, we believe that our responsibility goes beyond providing mobility services; it extends to standing with communities during moments of need. The recent demolitions left many families vulnerable, and through our partnership with GenerousMe, we were able to respond quickly and responsibly. This intervention reflects our commitment to fairness, empathy, and ensuring that people remain at the centre of everything we do,” Oladimeji said.

In his remarks, Partnerships Lead, GenerousMe Adetola Alade, added “Partnering with inDrive enabled the timely and coordinated delivery of aid. We prioritize speed and collaboration in responding to urgent humanitarian needs, and working with inDrive on this project was a great experience.”
