Stanbic Bank fulfils promise to KNUST’s ‘SONSOL’ project despite economic difficulties

Despite the difficult business environment the country is facing currently, the management of Stanbic Bank Ghana has kept its promise to support the Kwame Nkurumah University of Science and Technology’s (KNUST) Support One Needy Student, One Laptop (SONSOL) project.

The bank presented the final batch of 50 laptops to the university to aid the teaching and learning of STEM related subjects, especially for females.

The Head Brand and Marketing at Stanbic Bank, Mawuko Afadzinu, who presented the laptops to the school said the bank is particulalry encourgaed by the impact the project is making in the lives of young men and women. Mr. Afadzinu said

 “One of the things that has driven us is all the stories we hear, the impact and the real significant difference this intervention is making in the lives of very brilliant young men and women. Beyond the donation of laptops, we’ve created a community for the beneficiaries, (most of whom are ladies) to engage, mentor, support and link them to opportunities which would ultimately impact their academic journeys and also help them to achieve their dreams of becoming the next generation of women in STEM”.

Vice Chancellor of KNUST, Professor Rita Akosua Dickson was extremely appreciative of the gesture. She recounted how Stanbic’s support has helped hundreds of underprivileged students to obtain the education they deserve since the abrupt nationwide shift to digital learning in 2020. She said,

“We are overwhelmed by love and honestly I don’t know where I read it from but I can recollect a saying that don’t be too quick to introduce who your friends are. Wait for hard times and what Stanbic is doing today for me confirms that even in the midst of hardships and all the drama that we have been through in terms of the economic landscape. And if in the midst of all that you can still bend beyond yourselves and show such great love to the university, to the students, to the ladies who without this kind of assistance will not have the best education, we are overwehelmed.”

She added that, “I recollect vividly when COVID knocked on our doors, we had to engage in an all inclusive form of education and a hybrid system that enbles us to have both in-person and virtual classes. This has now come to stay and we are only able to do this with such formidable support from Stanbic. And honestly, whether we like it or not, the technologically advanced space that we find ourselves in will continue to move from one level to the other so we can’t  run away from this and all comes back to the use of gadgets so we are just full of gratitude to Stanbic that in this journey you didn’t leave us in the middle and ask us to swim our way back but you have kept faith with us, you have kept to your promises and even through thick and thin the difficult times that you find yourselves you kept us in focus and this means a lot to us as a university.”

The SONSOL project is an initiative of the Vice Chancellor of KNUST, which aims at supporting needy student with laptops to help them pursue their university education. Stanbic Bank Ghana, as part of its commitment to make dreams possible-through high impact interventions including education-for the people of Ghana, pledged to donate 200 laptops over a period of 3 years in support of the project.
