In a commendable display of corporate social responsibility, Dufil Prima Foods’ makers of Indomie Instant Noodles, has joined forces with the Kokun Foundation Food Bank, a non-governmental organization to bring relief and joy to the vulnerable by providing free cartons of Indomie Noodles to thousands of Nigerians.

“We are very grateful completely to Indomie and Kokun Foundation for this donation,” she shared happily. “Things have not been easy due to the current price hike everywhere but thanks to Indomie and the Kokun Foundation, we have hope things will get better for us”.
Another mother with her child expressed their joy at the initiative and rendered heartfelt prayers and thanks to Indomie and Kokun Foundation.
The founder, Kokun Foundation, Olukokun Adepeju stated that the foundation was borne out of the desire to support the very vulnerable and to reduce hunger in communities around Lagos.
