Stanbic IBTC Holdings has reached a powerful milestone with its Together4ALimb initiative, marking the support of 200 children living with limb loss. Since launching in 2015, the programme combines physical, educational, and emotional empowerment by providing custom-fitted prosthetic limbs and education trust funds valued at ₦1.5 million each.
At its 11th annual walk on 15 November 2025, held on Victoria Island, Stanbic IBTC brought together staff, the beneficiaries and their families, along with community stakeholders, to raise awareness about limb loss and promote inclusion.
Chuma Nwokocha, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, expressed that the effort goes beyond prosthetics: “We are not just fitting limbs … we are enabling futures.” His words emphasize the long-term impact: each child continues to receive support, including annual limb replacements until they turn 18.
Wole Adeniyi, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Bank, added, “Each step we take … is a symbol of shared hope and collective responsibility.” He framed the walk not just as charity, but as a demonstration that “banking is about more than transactions … It’s also about transformation.”
Beyond restoring physical mobility, the initiative offers these children a real shot at a brighter future. With access to education via the trust funds, many beneficiaries now have the resources to pursue their academic aspirations through school and potentially into university.
By reducing the financial burden on families struggling with medical costs, Stanbic IBTC’s investment in prosthetic limbs and education helps free household income for other needs, boosting family economic resilience. As these children gain education, they’re more likely to become productive, contributing to Nigeria’s future skilled workforce.
