They also donated an amount of GH¢9000, clothes and shoes to the project and also interacted and mentored the orphans on career development.
The Citi FM Easter Orphan Project is an annual corporate social responsibility project which aims at supporting some of Ghana’s registered orphanages.
Citi FM and its donors have built a vocational training centre for the Baptist School Complex and Orphanage and funds from this year’s project would be used to equip the training centre to facilitate proper training of the orphans in the fields of carpentry, plumbing and hairdressing.
The Communications and Marketing Officer at Stanbic Bank, Ms Linda Aryee, said there would not have been a better way to celebrate Easter than to spend time encouraging and supporting the orphans to realise their dreams.
She said Stanbic Bank always wants to help people move forward and the “Orphans are among the most deprived group of people in society”.
According to her orphans need love, care, support and proper upbringing to enable them to fit into society.
“So we feel that we have to be the support system that they require to become proper adults,” she said.
Operations Manager at Citi FM, Mr Philip Ashong, expressed his appreciation to Stanbic Bank for the fruitful relationship which had grown better since last year.
“We can only say thank you to Stanbic because without them we wouldn’t have achieved the target that we set for ourselves this year,” he said.
