The FirstBank Ghana has presented a cash amount of GH¢50,000 to support the Ga Education Fund established by the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II. The Fund is aimed at supporting and empowering brilliant needy children in the Ga State.

At a brief meeting in Accra last Friday, a delegation from FirstBank Ghana led by the Managing Director (MD) of the Bank, Victor Yaw Asante, also donated an amount of GH¢50,000, packs of water and assorted drinks to support the celebration of the Homowo festival this year.

Mr Asante, who presented the money and items to the Ga Mantse pledged the Bank’s annual support to the Fund.

He explained that the Ga Mantse has been active in providing educational support to needy individuals, a cause the Bank was ready to contribute to.

He said their gesture underscored their commitment to education, praising the Ga Mantse's efforts in providing educational support to those in need.

Mr Asante emphasised that their support was not a one-time event, but said they would continue with their contributions to the Fund.
Initiatives

The Managing Director said the Bank had been supporting initiatives, particularly in the education and health sectors.

“We came here to announce our support, we will start this year, and we expect to stay with him annually.

“We support a lot of initiatives sometimes directly, sometimes we do through organisation and institutions, and this particular one is with the Ga Mantse through his education fund,” he added.

He said it was important to support the Ga State annual event, Homowo, to celebrate the culture and traditions of the Ga people as well as the country as a whole.

He indicated that the Bank would continue to engage in various social support programs to improve the wellbeing of people and contribute to the development of the country.

The Ga Mantse thanked the delegation from FirstBank for their kind gesture and asked for God's blessing for their life and prosperity for business.

He urged them to fulfill their pledge to contribute to the Fund and not make their support a one-off thing.

The Chief of Staff of the Ga State, Justice Julia Naa-Yarley Adjei Amoah, also thanked the team from FirstBank, urging them to continuously support the Fund.
