An initiative to celebrate mothers and reward female entrepreneurs with cash grants for their ventures called Mums in Business Challenge has kicked off.
The contest is the brainchild of Mouka, one of the leaders in foam making business and it is being organised in conjunction with the AGS Tribe.
It is in line with the brand’s mission of adding comfort to life and falls under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) pillar of “skills for life”.
For the 2021 edition, Mouka is giving away a cash grant of N500,000 to the first prize winner, while the second prize winner will get N300,000, with the third receiving N200,000. All winners will also go home with Mouka mattresses and pillows.
To participate in this competition, consumers have been encouraged to visit Mouka’s social media handles for information on how to enjoy the goodies as well as the terms and conditions.
“Mouka is a brand that genuinely cares for its consumers and is continuously looking for ways to add comfort to their lives through its products and initiatives as these.
“We see mums as the pillars that support the homes. They should be encouraged and supported to excel in their chosen fields of endeavour,” Mouka’s Head of Marketing, Ms Tolu Olanipekun, said.
Recall that in May 2019, Mouka ran a similar online competition, organised in partnership with AGS Tribe, a firm that provides entrepreneurs opportunities across Africa.
Ms Maryam Adebola-Salami, the founder of Mobaby Care Nigeria, emerged the winner and was presented with a cheque of $1,000.
Mouka is Nigeria’s leading brand of mattresses, pillows and other bedding products. Among its array of quality products are the Wellbeing Orthopaedic mattresses, Mondeo Plus spring mattress, Royal Luxury Pillow Top spring mattress and an assortment of pillows to help Nigerians sleep well and wake up refreshed.
