Kintampo Community Bank PLC has donated 100 mono-desks valued at about GH¢30,000 to Jema Senior High School in the Bono East Region to help address a furniture shortage affecting academic activities at the school.
The donation follows an appeal by the school's management, which said inadequate furniture was hampering teaching and learning and called on the bank for support.
Speaking at a handover ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of Kintampo Community Bank, Martin Mensah, said the donation forms part of the bank's corporate social responsibility programme and its commitment to supporting community development.
He said the bank planned to replicate similar interventions in other deprived schools within its operational areas.
The bank will not relent in its efforts to administering corporate social responsibility to help cushion community development," Mensah said.
He urged residents within the bank's catchment area to continue to trust and support the institution, describing it as a reliable partner in business and community growth.
The Board Chairman of Kintampo Community Bank, Nana Owusu Gyare II, said the bank remained committed to its social investment agenda as it pursued plans to transition into an urban community bank.
We remain committed to our CSR objectives. We will continue to support education, agriculture and small businesses to ensure a brighter future for us all," he said.
Receiving the desks on behalf of the school, Headmaster Joseph Amoateng Nyarko thanked the bank for the support, saying the furniture would help ease pressure on existing facilities.
Nyarko said student enrolment had grown steadily over the years to 1,843, but furniture supply had not kept pace with the increase in student numbers.
He appealed to other institutions and individuals to support the school and emulate the bank's gesture.
