In a heartwarming display of commitment to education and skills development, Absa Bank Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) team took a significant step toward fulfilling its commitment to nurturing the next generation of bright young minds at Choggu Yapalsi M/A Junior High School (JHS) in Tamale.
The team’s mission was clear: to breathe new life into the school’s computer lab, provide the much-needed resources to spark enthusiasm and curiosity among the students, and ignite their STEM journey.
Absa Bank’s CIB team contribution to Choggu Yapalsi M/A Junior High School encompassed a significant donation. This included the provision of thirty (30) desktop computers, offering valuable educational resources to the students. They also renovated the school’s computer lab by providing new desks, chairs and fans to create a comfortable and conducive learning environment. This initiative underscores the bank’s dedication to making a meaningful and lasting impact on the educational prospects of the students.
In an era where the importance of digital literacy and technological proficiency cannot be overstated, Absa recognises the need to empower the youth to be future fit. The transformation of the computer lab was not merely an act of corporate social responsibility (CSR); it was an investment in the future of these bright minds.
Walking into the refurbished computer lab, one could immediately sense the excitement in the air. The eyes of the young students sparkled with anticipation as they gazed at the gleaming rows of desktop computers. It was a moment of hope and empowerment for the young students.
Ellen Ohene-Afoakwa, Managing Principal for Absa Bank Ghana Corporate & Investment Banking, who led the delegation, affirmed that the decision to support Choggu Yapalsi M/A Junior High School was a reflection Absa’s firm belief in the transformative power of education. She further expressed that the donation was a tangible reflection of Absa’s commitment to fostering a generation of young minds who can thrive in the digital age.
