Leading financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc, has reaffirmed its commitment to corporate social responsibility with the donation of food and essential items to the Old People’s Home in Yaba, Lagos.
The donation was made possible through the generosity of the bank’s Nexus 2025 Inductee Class, under its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative known as the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme (FHHP).
Through the FHHP, staff across Fidelity Bank branches nationwide identify crucial needs within their immediate communities and raise funds to address them. The bank’s management matches these contributions with an equal amount and disburses the funds for the selected projects.
Commenting on the donation, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications, Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, emphasized the bank’s unwavering commitment to positively impacting its host communities, noting that the community is an essential part of the bank’s success story.
“Today’s donation is a token of our appreciation for our incredible parents and guardians who have raised outstanding individuals that trust us with their banking needs. Our donation to the Old People’s Home reflects our deep commitment to supporting the well-being and dignity of our senior citizens. We are honored to contribute to a cause that ensures they receive the care, comfort, and respect they deserve,” Nwagboh stated.
Appreciating the gesture from the bank, the Director-in-Charge of the Home in Yaba, Adetutu Ipaye, said:
“Community support initiatives such as this from Fidelity Bank are vital to sustaining our mission and enhancing the quality of life for the elderly. We urge other organizations to follow in the bank’s footsteps, as this kind of support goes a long way in ensuring that the elderly live with dignity and comfort.”
One of the beneficiaries at the home, Mr. Kamoru Adeyetu, added:
“Your presence today has brought us immense joy, and our greatest happiness lies in seeing the younger generation thrive. Beyond the gifts, your visit means the world to us. Please remember to visit us regularly.”
