In line with the 5 Regional CSR activities embarked on by CBG, the Bank has donated 4- seater toilet facility (water closet) and a polytank to the Kith Home Care, a mentally challenged home in Apollo, Takoradi in the Western Region of Ghana. The Regional CSR activities or project is an initiative by the Bank to give support to deprived communities in the regions in which we operate. These supports are targeted since they are identified by the branches together with their Regional Heads.
Presenting the facility and polytank on behalf of the Bank during the handing over ceremony in the month of May was the Southern Sector Regional Manager, Daniel Amponsah. He spoke passionately saying “to demonstrate our commitment to stand with our cherished customers, CBG placed on our heart to identity a project we believe can bring some respite to the people and good will to the brand. We decided on this home because we see how much our brothers and sisters with mental challenge can use some comfort while their conditions are being addressed by the home. We at CBG work for profit but we also believe in humanity and using CSR which is a social fabric for development to affect lives is a badge of honour for the CBG brand”.
The Manager of the facility, Mr. Bernard Appiah was excited about the kind gesture and thanked CBG for the good work. In addition to his gratitude he expressed how much work goes into taking care of just one person and further requested some more support this time from Government and other organisations.
The founder late Madam Habiba Fuseini before her demise in 2021 was a once upon a time a street survivor who lived, worked, and slept at bus terminals in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis. Despite her personal challenges, she had a passion to take care of mentally challenged persons. The home was named after Mr. Kith, an expatriate who was living and working in the Western Region who upon seeing the amazing work Auntie Abiba was doing, offered his four bedroom house to be used as the home for the mentally challenged persons. Until her demise, the Kith Home houses about 80 to 100 persons and provides for their daily upkeep and medical needs. The ceremony was crowned with the patients singing as a sign of gratitude for the kindness showed them.
