Kintampo Community Bank donates 100 desks to Jema SHS

The Kintampo Community Bank PLC has donated 100 mono-desks, valued at about GH¢30,000, to Jema Senior High School in Jema, Kintampo South District, Bono East Region, to help address a furniture shortage affecting academic activities at the school.

The donation follows an appeal by the school's management, which said inadequate furniture was hampering teaching and learning and called on the bank for support.

Speaking at a handover ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of Kintampo Community Bank, Martin Mensah, said the donation formed part of the bank's corporate social responsibility and its commitment to supporting community development.

He said the bank planned to replicate similar interventions in other deprived schools within its operational areas.

"The bank will not relent in its efforts to administer corporate social responsibility to help cushion community development," Mensah said.

He urged residents within the bank's catchment area to continue to trust and support the institution, describing it as a reliable partner in business and community growth.

The Board Chairman of Kintampo Community Bank, Nana Owusu Gyare II, said the bank remained committed to its social investment agenda as it pursued plans to transition into an urban community bank.

"We remain committed to our CSR objectives. We will continue to support education, agriculture and small businesses to ensure a brighter future for us all," he said.

Commendation
Receiving the desks on behalf of the school, Headmaster Joseph Amoateng Nyarko thanked the bank for the support, saying the furniture would help ease pressure on existing facilities.

Mr. Nyarko said student enrolment had grown steadily over the years to 1,843, but furniture supply had not kept pace with the increase in student numbers and appealed to other institutions and individuals to support the school and emulate the bank's gesture.
