Stanbic IBTC Empowers 200 Children With Prosthetic Limbs, Education

Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc has empowered 200 children across Nigeria with prosthetic limbs and education trusts through its Together4ALimb Walk programme.

The company’s flagship corporate social investment (CSI) initiative focuses on underserved children aged zero to 18 years, who are living with limb loss across the states in Nigeria by providing prosthetic limbs and Stanbic IBTC Education Trusts for the children.

Filled with energy and enthusiasm, the annual Together4ALimb Walk reaffirms Stanbic IBTC’s commitment to fostering inclusion and improving the lives of the beneficiaries.

The initiative represents a decade-long commitment to changing lives and creating opportunities for children who might otherwise have been marginalised due to physical disabilities.

This year marked a significant milestone as 64 new beneficiaries received prosthetic limbs, bringing the total number of children supported since the programme’s inception to 200. Beyond the prosthetic limbs, each beneficiary also received an education trust valued at N1.5 million to support their academic journey; ensuring that they have the resources needed to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential.

Speaking at the event, chief executive, Stanbic IBTC Holdings, Chuma Nwokocha said, “to celebrate our 200 beneficiaries this year, we are telling the story of a journey defined by compassion and progress. Together4ALimb is more than an initiative, it is a promise to keep enabling futures and empowering children to thrive. Each child we support represents a transformed life, a family uplifted; and a community strengthened. We are honoured to continue this journey and look forward to touching even more lives in the years to come.”

The chief executive, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Wole Adeniyi, added, “Each step we take during this walk is a symbol of shared hope and collective responsibility. We are proud to stand with the children benefiting from this initiative, and their families, as we continue to drive awareness around limb loss and inclusion across Nigeria.

“The Together4ALimb initiative embodies our belief that banking is about more than transactions. It’s also about transformation and making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.”

This year’s edition also featured inspiring testimonials from beneficiaries and their families, who shared their stories of resilience and gratitude. Many spoke about how receiving prosthetic limbs had not only restored their mobility but also their confidence and sense of belonging in society.

The Together4ALimb initiative reflects Stanbic IBTC’s broader commitment to sustainable development and social impact. By addressing both the immediate physical needs of children through prosthetic limb provision in their childhood, and their long-term educational needs through education trusts, the programme takes a holistic approach to empowerment and inclusion.
