In the wake of COVID-19, Consolidated Bank Ghana has reached out to the Potter’s Village Orphanage in Dodowa, Accra with food items including bags of rice, boxes of tin tomatoes, cooking oil, bags of gari, bags of sugar, boxes of tuna flakes, and boxes of biscuits.

The donation is in line with the bank's commitment to support the Covid-19 fight in Ghana.

Presenting the items to the orphanage, the delegation from CBG reiterated the bank’s passion to stand with customers and Ghanaians at large during these difficult times.

The bank over the Covid-19 period has remained committed to its tagline, ‘We Stand With You’ by assisting needy communities and institutions. Prior to this donation, CBG has made a number of donations to some communities in Accra and Kumasi.

Others are Ministry of Health, University of Ghana Medical Center, Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research, Northern Development Authority, Ministries and East Legon Police Stations both in Accra.

The bank will continue to fervently look out for opportunities to make impacts.

While observing the social distancing protocols, the CBG team shared some happy moments with the children by taking photos, singing with them, and touring the new shelter under construction for the kids.

On behalf of the Orphanage, Dr. Mrs. Jane Irina Adu, CEO and Founder of the Potter’s Village Orphanage expressed gratitude to CBG for the kind gesture. “We are happy you drove through town to visit, not worried about contracting the virus, all for the love you have for us. Thank you so much for these items, we needed them. God bless CBG!”

She further called on other corporate entities to support them especially on the new facility which is still under construction.

The donation is an extension of the bank’s recent donation of food items to over 2,000 people in some deprived communities during the lockdown and the Easter festive period.
