In an effort to bridge the digital gap and equip students with essential IT skills,
Consolidated Bank Ghana Ltd. (CBG) has donated 30 desktop computers to three junior high schools in Agona.
The beneficiary institutions are Agona SDA JHS, Bedomase D/A Basic School, and Bipoa JHS.
They received 10 computers each, alongside a refurbishment of their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) laboratories.
This initiative forms part of the Bank’s ongoing commitment to community development through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts.
Speaking at the handing-over ceremony, the Managing Director of CBG, Daniel Addo, reiterated the Bank’s dedication to supporting education and empowering communities.
“At CBG, we believe in the power of community and the importance of contributing to the development and sustainability of the communities we serve. Today, we are proud to help bridge the gap and empower students with the tools they need to succeed in the world of technology,” he said.
Mr Addo further highlighted that the initiative aligned with CBG’s core CSR pillars, which focus on health, community development, and education, as well as contributing to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“In today’s digital age, access to computers is not a luxury but a necessity. We are excited to see the impact this initiative will have on the students and the broader community,” he added.
Representing the beneficiary schools, the Headmaster of Bipoa JHS, Desmond Kwadwo Mensah, expressed heartfelt gratitude to CBG for the generous support.
“This donation will truly transform the learning experience for our students. For many of them, this is their first real encounter with computers, and we believe this will open doors to new opportunities. On behalf of Agona SDA JHS, Bedomase D/A Basic School, and Bipoa JHS, we say thank you to CBG for standing with us,” Mr Mensah stated.
