...donates to institutions
Adelaide Larissa Boye, last week emerged the grand prize winner of the final draw of the HFC 2010 Homesave promotion.
Boye is the third and final winner of three draws of the promotion and she will receive a two-bedroom semi-detach house located at Oyarifa.
John Arhinful and Madam Sophia Aryee won the two previous draws.
Asare Akuffo, Managing Director of the Bank, described the draw as unique because this was the first time home savers and other savings account holders had the opportunity of winning three 2-bedroom houses in three separate draws.
He said the Bank’s commitment to home ownership since its establishment in 1990 had not wavered and had provided home loans to over 6,000 families through mortgage products.
He said the Bank had identified residential estate financing and the provision of home loans as a strategic growth path over the next three years and advised the over 20,000 home savers and other account holders would be given priority when the houses to be constructed are delivered in 2012.
He congratulated the various winners in the just ended promotion and urged others to save with HFC to benefit from the bank’s favourable conditions.
In a separate development, HFC Bank (Ghana), has donated various amounts of money to a wide spectrum of Ghanaian institutions towards promoting better health and education for the needy and the less privileged.
Nine of the 23 beneficiary institutions this year received their cheques at a brief ceremony in Accra Thursday. Presentation to the 14 others preceded Thursday’s ceremony at separate events.
The latest recipients included Akuapim Community Foundation, Accident Centre of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, National Partnership for Children’s Trust, HelpAge Ghana and SOS Ghana.
The rest are the Students Financial Aid Office of the University of Ghana, Dworwulu Special School for the Intellectually Challenged, Ghana Heart Foundation and Catholic Action for Street Children.
Mercy Mamle Tetteh, Company Secretary of HFC Bank, explained that the donations are done every year on behalf of shareholders as part of the Bank’s corporate social responsibility to the Ghanaian community.
Recipients thanked the Bank and appealed to other benevolent institutions for more support.
