The move was in response to the annual fundraiser event by the CHFG that aims at finding sponsors for open heart surgeries needed to save the lives of sick, underprivileged, and Ghanaian children.

A statement issued and signed by Mrs Sylvia Adadey, Corporate Communications and Brands Management Supervisor and a member of the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, who led the team in their presentation, stated, that the bank felt obligated to help save lives through such interventions, while focusing on its core business function of providing a one-stop bank for the financial needs of all Ghanaians.

She noted: “Our transformation from Ghana Home Loans to GHL Bank has not affected our passion to continue supporting many people to realise their life-long dreams; whether it is education, health, business and life. That is why we resolved to help little Efua stay alive and healthy to pursue a promising future”.

Mrs Jacqui Ahomka-Lindsey, the President of CHFG, who received the donation, expressed the Foundation’s gratitude to all who contributed to this year’s fundraiser event.   She particularly commended GHL Bank for consistently heeding to the call of the Ghana Heart Foundation.

She further pleaded that individuals and groups come to the aid of Ghanaian families who found themselves in the stressful and difficult position of trying to save the lives of their children who are diagnosed with a congenital heart condition.

Prior to its transformation to GHL Bank, Ghana Home Loans had contributed to the Foundation over the past five years and had made it a major part of the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility projects.
