According to the CEO, Alabi Couture, Meg Alabi, “ALABI Couture organizes a Charity fashion show annually in December where we select an orphanage home in Lagos and just put smiles on the faces of the Children, staff of the home and generally on everyone present that day. This is the 3^rd Charity Fashion show by ALABI Couture.”

She added: “Our fashion house sees this as a way of giving back to the less privileged and to the society. We make clothes for all the children of the home and all the staff (a way of saying thank you to them for taking care of these Children) and we contact different celebrities and make clothes for them to model for the children, we make that day a fun day for the Children.

The children are given new clothes, some of which they wear on the day of the fashion show. They also get toys, reading materials, food items, toiletries and other items that are donated to the Home. The Event usually takes place at the orphanage home as gifts and other items will be handed over and collected by the staff of the Home.
