To demonstrate its commitment to creating awareness and driving change on social issues, Absa Bank Ghana joined a worthy cause to raise funds for childhood cancer treatment and care in Ghana.

The bank partnered with Lifeline for Childhood Cancer Ghana, a foundation that raises funds for the treatment of children with cancer, to organize the “Swing Against Child Cancer” charity golf event at the Celebrity Golf Club to raise awareness and support for the construction of the new Pediatric Oncology Centre at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Absa Bank's support for the event exemplifies the unwavering commitment of the bank to supporting children battling cancer. This initiative will benefit children undergoing cancer treatment, providing them with the necessary support, care, and resources during their courageous battle.

"We are inspired to be a part of this noble initiative to support children battling cancer," said Mr. Kobla Nyaletey, Managing Principal, Retail and Business Banking. Our sponsorship of the Swing Against Child Cancer charity golf tournament in partnership with Lifeline for Childhood Cancer Ghana, aligns perfectly with our corporate values of social responsibility and community engagement. We believe that every child deserves a fighting chance, and by supporting this event, we are taking a step closer to making that a reality."

With a strong focus on corporate social responsibility, Absa Bank strives to be a Force for Good by supporting initiatives in education and health that improve lives, build communities, and make a positive impact on the lives of the youth in Ghana.
