Stanbic IBTC’s 11th Together4ALimb Walk Empowers 200 Children with Prosthetics and Education Funds

Stanbic IBTC Holdings has hosted the 11th edition of its annual Together4ALimb Walk, held on Saturday in Lagos. The flagship corporate social investment initiative focuses on supporting underserved children aged 0–18 living with limb loss across Nigeria by providing prosthetic limbs and educational support.

Participants gathered in Victoria Island for the symbolic walk, demonstrating solidarity with children living with limb loss. This year marked a major milestone as 64 new beneficiaries received prosthetic limbs, bringing the total number of supported children since the programme began to 200. Each beneficiary also received an education trust fund worth ₦1.5 million to aid their schooling.

Speaking at the event, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, Chuma Nwokocha, emphasized the impact of the initiative. “To celebrate our 200 beneficiaries this year, we are telling the story of a journey defined by compassion and progress. Together4ALimb is more than an initiative, it is a promise to keep enabling futures and empowering children to thrive.”

Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Wole Adeniyi, highlighted that the walk symbolizes shared hope and collective responsibility. He noted that the initiative reflects the bank’s commitment to making meaningful contributions to the communities it serves, beyond traditional banking.

The event also featured emotional testimonials from beneficiaries and their families, many of whom spoke about how prosthetic limbs restored their mobility, confidence, and sense of inclusion.

To encourage broader participation, Stanbic IBTC enabled supporters to join virtually through the “Steps by Stanbic IBTC” app, allowing thousands around the world to take part in raising awareness about limb loss and inclusion.
