HFC Bank provides classrooms, teachers’ bungalow

HFC Bank is to build a teachers’ bungalow at Kramokrom, a predominantly cocoa growing community in the Asante-Akim North Municipality in the Ashanti region, to help provide decent accommodation for teachers posted to the area.

Already, the Bank has built a three classroom block for the local Junior High School at a cost of GH¢25,000.00.

Led by Mercy Araba Kerston, the Operations Officer, staff of the Kumasi branches of the Bank undertook a joint painting and clean-up exercise at the Kramokrom Junior High School over the past weekend.

The Kramokrom exercise, which was part of activities to mark the bank’s 20th anniversary celebrations, saw the staff clearing weedy areas of the school, trimming overgrown flowers, removing garbage and de-silting gutters. They also scrubbed the floors and painted the walls.

According to Kerston, HFC Bank’s contribution to the provision of education in the country was in line with the Bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme.

The staff later feted more than 100 school children with food and assorted soft drinks.

Ebenezer Oteng, Headmaster, expressed gratitude to HFC Bank saying, the construction of the JHS had increased enrolment. “It had brought to an end the era when the school children travelled long distances and by so doing took the daily risk of crossing rivers to attend school at Odumase and other nearby towns,” Oteng observed.

The Unit Committee Chairman, Haruna Owusu, called on the government to link the area to the national electrification grid and to provide them with a borehole.

A couple of weeks ago, HFC Bank cut a sod to construct another six classroom block for the Kotobabi No. 2 Primary School at Baatsona in the Tema Municipality.

In similar development, HFC Bank has installed a state of the art networked CCTV camera system that enables the real time video monitoring of activities in and around its 21 branches across the country. The Bank has a Central Monitoring Station (CMS) in Accra.

The security system, called Virtual Shield, is the most advanced bank-wide security system to be undertaken by a bank in Ghana.

The Virtual Shield allows Bank Managers and security to monitor all operations anytime and anywhere and therefore facilitates the protection of the assets and the safety of employees and customers.
