IfeanHealth, a leading provider of prosthetics and orthotics in West Africa as part of its strategic step to empower Nigerian children, has partnered with Stanbic IBTC to provide modern, functional prostheses and an N1.5 million education trust fund to 45 children.

Ejike Anih, chief executive officer/ Founder of IfeanHealth while speaking after a walk organized by Stanbic IBTC for creating awareness for children with limb loss, called #Together4ALimb, lauded the bank for their commitment to having a multi-pronged impact in the lives of these children and by extension, their families and communities with the provision of prostheses and the education trust fund.

He said, “Over the last several years, we’ve had the opportunity to provide prosthetics care to 100 children with limb loss from all 36 states of Nigeria and the FCT sponsored by Stanbic IBTC bank has also provided them with an educational trust fund of 1.5Million Naira.”

Demola Sogunle, chief executive officer of Stanbic IBTC noted that this year marks the 9th edition of the #Together4ALimb walk. Furthermore, he said that since the programme started it has been a very important and key aspect of the bank.

He went further that the together for a limb initiative so far has transformed the lives of 100 children with limb loss thanks to their partnership with IfeanHealth who provides the prostheses for the children and most importantly this year, they recorded the highest intake of beneficiaries in history: 45 limb beneficiaries.

In his words, “Each child will receive a Stanbic IBTC education fund of N1.5million empowerment with access to quality education”.
