Bawjiase: The Risk Team of Stanbic Bank Ghana has supported Graceland Childcare School in Bawjiase, Central Region, with a donation aimed at improving the welfare of children at the facility.
According to Ghana News Agency, the donation forms part of the bank's ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts to uplift vulnerable communities. The team handed over food items, stationery, clothing, furniture, and toiletries at the presentation. In addition to the items, they presented an unspecified cash amount to help cater to the daily needs of the children at the home.
Edwin Bartels, Portfolio Manager for Risk at Stanbic Bank, emphasized the importance of giving back and offering consistent support to communities in need. He remarked that supporting children in institutions like Graceland is about showing them they are not alone and that someone cares for their success. Mr. Bartels encouraged the children to stay focused and make good choices, assuring them that their current circumstances do not define their future.
He also expressed hope that the donated items would be used appropriately and maintained, adding that while the donation might not solve every challenge, it is intended to ease some of the burden and create a more comfortable environment.
Receiving the items on behalf of the school, Madam Grace Wobil, Matron of the facility, expressed heartfelt appreciation for the continued partnership between the school and Stanbic Bank's Risk Team. She highlighted the significance of their consistency in support and the impact such donations have on the school's operations, particularly in meeting the children's nutritional and academic needs.
Some of the children also shared messages of appreciation, with one of them stating that the visit and donations make them feel loved and remembered. This is the second consecutive year that the Stanbic Bank Risk Team has supported Graceland Childcare School, reinforcing its commitment to contributing meaningfully to society, beyond banking. The annual support activity is part of the bank's broader strategy to impact lives through education, healthcare, and community development.
