The staff of FBNBank Ghana have once again reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to supporting and contributing to society after the staff donated an amount of GHS18,000 to the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central to support the Club’s children-focused activities.

Commenting on the donation by FBNBank Ghana Staff, Victor Yaw Asante, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, who is the immediate past District Governor of Rotary District 9102 said, “we at FBNBank firmly believe in the commitment of touching lives and positively impacting communities in different ways. We recognize the role of Berekuso Community Clinic in service delivery and ensuring the general well-being of the people in the area. We believe the donation will go a long way towards supporting the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central to complete the project.”

The President of the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central, Kwadwo Akrofi Koram receiving the donation, said, “at Rotary, service to our communities is one of our core mandates, and extending a helping hand to communities in need is a responsibility for us all. On this note, we are grateful for the support from staff of FBNBank Ghana, who always come to our aid with the implementation of the Club’s child-focused projects.”

FBNBank has contributed cash totaling GHS65,000 over the last four years to support the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central’s children-focused projects.

Some of the projects for which the Bank’s Staff made donations were GHS10,000 in 2019 for refurbishment of the educational and dining facilities at the Akropong School for the Blind. In 2020, Staff of the Bank donated GHS10,865 for renovation and construction of classrooms and library for the Golden Spring School in Tetegu as well as for the purchase of essential equipment for the children’s cancer unit at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Presenting the donation to the Centre was Eldora Emelia Tetteh, Head of Human Capital Management and Development, said, “at FBNBank, we prioritise giving back to the societies. We decided to come to the House of Faith Child Development Centre because we believe the managers of this facility are doing a great job to support the children. These children here are the future and they have a role to play in the years to come for this country. It is important therefore that we extend a helping hand to this facility and its managers in order to make it possible for these young ones to attain their full potential.”
