Bank provides prosthetic limbs, education support for children with limb loss

Stanbic IBTC Holdings has expanded its flagship Corporate Social Investment initiative, Together4ALimb, by providing prosthetic limbs and education support to underserved children living with limb loss across Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the financial institution said the programme, launched in 2015, targets children aged 0 to 18 who have lost limbs due to accidents, medical conditions, or congenital disabilities. This year, 64 new beneficiaries will be enrolled, bringing the total number of supported children to 200. Each child will receive a custom-fitted prosthetic limb and an education trust fund valued at ₦1.5 million.

Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, Chuma Nwokocha, said the initiative goes beyond providing mobility aids. “We are not just fitting limbs for underserved children living with limb loss; we are also enabling futures. Our belief is that every child deserves an equal chance to live fully and pursue their dreams,” he said.

Also speaking, the Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Wole Adeniyi, noted that Together4ALimb reflects the power of compassion and long-term support. The bank said the initiative not only restores mobility but also opens access to quality education and better opportunities for beneficiaries and their families.
