HFC Bank has donated GH¢30,000 to 14 institutions in the country as part of its social responsibility to mark its annual Corporate Donation Day.
The beneficiary institutions are the Accident Centre of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, the Ghana Heart Foundation, the University of Ghana, the Dzorwulu Special School, Help Age Ghana, Catholic Action for Street Children, the SOS Children’s Villages and the Mampong Babies Home.
The rest are the Rotary Club of Accra, Rotary Club of Accra West, National Partnership for Children’s Trust, Akwapim Educational Fund, the Ga East Municipal Division of the Ghana Education Service and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.
The Executive Director of the HFC Bank, Mr Akwete Akita, said the donation was a demonstration of the bank’s desire to give back to the public and urged the recipients to use the money for the intended purpose.
The General Manager of the bank, Mr Charles A. Martinson, said the annual HFC Bank donation started with a few institutions and hoped that the base would expand in the future to enable more institutions to also benefit from the bank’s success in the banking industry.
He said as part of their expansion scheme the bank would roll out new branches in the course of the year when the need arises.
According to him the bank would review its affordable housing project as demand was very high, adding that the bank had arranged for contractors to deliver affordable houses to meet the high demand.
Mr Martinson further said as part of the bank’s strategy to meet the high demand for affordable houses, it would make available accessible loan facilities for Ghanaians to enable them to easily acquire houses.
The President of the Rotary Club of Accra, Mr Andrews Jack Dotsey, on behalf of the other institutions thanked HFC Bank for the donation.
