Stanbic Bank Donates GH¢400,000 to Support Flood and Fire Victims

The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) received a significant boost in its relief efforts with a GH¢400,000 donation from Stanbic Bank Ghana. The donation, presented on June 5 at the NADMO Headquarters, aims to support communities affected by recent flooding and fire incidents across Accra and other parts of the country.

Heavy downpours and subsequent fire outbreaks on Wednesday, June 3, displaced families, disrupted livelihoods, and caused significant hardship for residents and market operators. The downpours led to fires that destroyed homes and properties, leaving many without shelter or essential items. In response, Stanbic Bank swiftly mobilised a comprehensive package of essential items to complement NADMO’s ongoing relief and recovery efforts.

The donation comprises essential protective equipment and food items designed to meet the immediate and medium-term needs of displaced persons, including Wellington boots, raincoats, life jackets, student mattresses, blankets, toiletries, mosquito repellents, rice, cooking oil, tomato puree, canned fish, and sanitary pads (dignity kits).

At the presentation ceremony, Chief Executive Officer of Stanbic Bank Ghana, Kwamina Asomaning, reiterated the Bank’s commitment to supporting Ghanaians in times of need. He stated, “Our purpose at Stanbic Bank is to drive Ghana’s growth, and we recognise that true growth is only possible when our communities and people are thriving.”

Stanbic Bank’s donation is not its first intervention in corporate social investment. In 2025, the Bank invested GHS 8.86 million in various sectors, including education, healthcare, skills training, agriculture, financial wellness, and youth development. This intervention showcases the Bank’s longstanding commitment to supporting Ghana’s development and growth.

Asomaning reaffirmed the Bank’s steadfast commitment to Ghana, noting its continued focus on supporting communities, driving economic growth, and partnering with government and other stakeholders to build national resilience.

“Stanbic Bank extends this support because we remain deeply committed to the well-being of our communities, which is central to our purpose,” he said. “We are proud to stand with affected families and to support NADMO’s critical efforts in restoring dignity and stability to impacted communities.”

NADMO has been working tirelessly to provide relief and support to affected communities in the wake of recent floods and fires. The donation from Stanbic Bank will complement these efforts and ensure that the affected communities receive the necessary assistance.

The Ghana Fire Service has reported a significant increase in fire incidents in recent weeks, with over 50 reported cases in the Greater Accra Region alone. The cause of these incidents remains unknown, but experts attribute it to the dry season and the high temperatures experienced in recent weeks.

In a bid to mitigate this trend, the Ghana Fire Service has launched a public education campaign aimed at sensitising the public on fire safety and prevention measures. The campaign will focus on educating communities on the importance of fire safety and the simple measures that can be taken to prevent fires.

The support from Stanbic Bank and other corporate bodies will play a crucial role in restoring dignity and stability to the affected communities. It also serves as a testament to the Bank’s commitment to supporting Ghana’s development and growth.

The donation from Stanbic Bank has sent a strong message of hope and resilience to the affected communities, demonstrating the Bank’s commitment to supporting Ghana’s growth and development.
