Stanbic IBTC has undertaken to provide some children with prostheses as part of its #Together4ALimb Corporate Social Investment initiative. As well as the artificial limbs, Stanbic IBTC also gifts each of them with educational trust funds to ensure they get quality education.
With 5 children helped last year and another 8 this year, thirteen children now have the benefit of mobility that we too often take for granted.
On the initiative, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, Sola David-Borha says:
“Stanbic IBTC’s corporate social responsibility has three areas of focus: health, education and economic empowerment. We wanted to have a cause that people will identify with and we arrived at health for children, specifically, prosthetic limbs. We are focused on children who are not well supported so that we can make a real difference in their lives.”
And the benefit of the initiative is clearly evident. As Mrs Osuma, whose son is one of the beneficiaries, put it: “Imagine me saving N1 million yearly for prosthesis. How much is my salary?”
And beyond the provision of prostheses and scholarships to beneficiaries, Stanbic IBTC is trying to raise awareness and encourage others to pitch in to boost access to prosthetic limbs by those who need them.
Join us and let’s walk #Together4ALimb
