Stanbic IBTC Holdings hosted the 11th edition of its Together4ALimb Walk on Saturday in Lagos.
In a statement, the company said that the Together4ALimb Walk, its flagship corporate social investment initiative, focuses on underserved children aged 0–18 years who are living with limb loss across the states in Nigeria, by providing prosthetic limbs and Stanbic IBTC Education Trusts for the children.
The event saw participants embark on a symbolic walk in the Victoria Island area of Lagos.
This year marked a significant milestone as 64 new beneficiaries received prosthetic limbs, bringing the total number of children supported since the programme’s inception to 200. Beyond the prosthetic limbs, each beneficiary also received an education trust valued at N1.5m to support their academic journey.
Speaking at the event, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, Chuma Nwokocha, said, “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. Each child we support represents a transformed life, a family uplifted, and a community strengthened. We are honoured to continue this journey and look forward to touching even more lives in the years to come.”
Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Wole Adeniyi, added, “Each step we take during this walk is a symbol of shared hope and collective responsibility. We are proud to stand with the children benefiting from this initiative, and their families, as we continue to drive awareness around limb loss and inclusion across Nigeria. The Together4ALimb initiative embodies our belief that banking is about more than transactions.
It’s also about transformation and making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.”
This year’s edition also featured inspiring testimonials from beneficiaries and their families, who shared their stories of resilience and gratitude. Many spoke about how receiving prosthetic limbs had not only restored their mobility but also their confidence and sense of belonging in society.
In addition to the physical walk, Stanbic IBTC invited its customers and supporters to participate virtually using the Steps by Stanbic IBTC app, enabling them to join from anywhere in the world. This virtual component allowed thousands more people to show their support for children living with limb loss and contribute to raising awareness around the importance of inclusion.
