Stanbic IBTC Holdings has expanded its flagship Corporate Social Investment initiative, Together4ALimb, aimed at supporting children living with limb loss across Nigeria through access to prosthetic limbs and educational funding.
The programme, launched in 2015, is expected to support a total of 200 beneficiaries this year. According to the bank, 64 new beneficiaries will receive custom-fitted prosthetic limbs alongside education trusts valued at ₦1.5 million each to support their academic development.
Together4ALimb targets underserved children aged between zero and 18 years who have experienced limb loss due to congenital conditions, medical complications or accidents. Beyond restoring mobility, the initiative focuses on rebuilding confidence and enabling long-term personal development.
Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, Chuma Nwokocha, said the programme reflects the organisation’s commitment to inclusive growth and social impact.
“We are not just fitting limbs for underserved children living with limb loss; we are also enabling futures. Together4ALimb reflects our belief that every child deserves an equal chance to live fully and pursue their dreams,” he said.
As part of the initiative, Stanbic IBTC recently held the 11th edition of its annual Together4ALimb Walk in Victoria Island, Lagos. The symbolic walk has become a key feature of the bank’s social impact efforts, drawing attention to the needs of children with disabilities and mobilising support for the programme.
Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Wole Adeniyi, said the initiative demonstrates the importance of collective action in addressing social challenges.
“As we walk with the children who continue to receive our support until they reach 18 years, we are reminded of the power of shared compassion and the impact of consistent support,” he said.
In addition to prosthetics, the education trust component of the programme is designed to ensure beneficiaries have sustained access to quality education, helping to position them for independent and productive futures.
Stanbic IBTC said it remains committed to expanding the reach of Together4ALimb, reinforcing its broader approach to social investment that combines health, education and long-term empowerment for vulnerable communities.
