The management of Stanbic IBTC Holdings has said a total of 200 children have benefitted from the organisation’s ongoing flagship Corporate Social Investment Initiative.

 

 

Since its inception in 2015, the initiative has transformed the lives of children across Nigeria by providing prosthetic limbs and educational support to underserved children aged 0 to 18 years, who are living with limb loss due to various circumstances, including accidents, medical conditions, and congenital disabilities.

 

 

This year, 64 new beneficiaries will join the programme, bringing the total number of children supported to 200. Each beneficiary will receive a custom-fitted prosthetic limb and an education trust valued at N1.5 million to support their schooling and facilitate their academic aspirations.

 

 

Speaking on the upcoming milestone, Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Holdings, Chuma Nwokocha said: “We are not just fitting limbs for underserved children living with limb loss; we are also enabling futures. Our Together4ALimb initiative reflects our belief that every child deserves an equal chance to live fully and pursue their dreams. This belief is critical as we raise more awareness for the plight of our beneficiaries; especially in the communities we operate in”.

 

 

Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Wole Adeniyi described the initiative as embodying the bank’s shared humanity.

 

 

“As we walk with the children who will continue to receive our support until up till they attain the age of 18 years, we are reminded of the power of collective compassion and the impact of consistent support,” he stated.

 

 

Beyond restoring mobility, the initiative gives children access to quality education and an opportunity to build a brighter, more secure future for themselves and their families. The programme’s holistic approach addresses both the physical and educational needs of vulnerable children, positioning them for long-term success.

 

 

Together4ALimb continues to remain a powerful symbol of compassion, inclusion, and solidarity. The annual walk, scheduled for 15 November 2025, will bring together Stanbic IBTC staff, beneficiaries and their guardians, as well as key stakeholders who will walk in Victoria Island. The event serves to raise awareness about limb loss and celebrate the resilience of children whose stories continue to inspire communities across Nigeria.
