#Together4ALimb
A signature Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiative by Stanbic IBTC to raise awareness for children with Limb Loss
#Together4ALimb is a signature corporate and Social Investment (CSI) initiative of Stanbic IBTC. Although is health related, has an education element to it as well as an Economic Empowerment leg as it affords the recipients a level playing field to compete in life. An important aspect of the signature CSI is the charity walkathon, organized yearly to raise awareness of the plight and, hopefully, ginger deliberate actions by government, policymakers, and the general public to address the problem.
Together4ALimb focuses on transforming the lives of children with limb losses from congenital issues/birth defects, accidents or mismanaged injuries. Such children are given prosthetic limbs and an Education trust fund.
#Together4ALimb has been in existence for seven years since 2014. Up till date, a total number of 50 children has benefitted from Prosthesis change annually and education trust fund till the age of 18years. Currently we have five Beneficiaries in Nursery school, 20 beneficiaries in Primary School, 23 beneficiaries in Secondary School and two beneficiaries in Tertiary Institution.
