ACCESS BANK DONATES 1ST TRANCHE OF 1MILLION SANITARY PADS

In fulfillment of its commitment to ending period poverty, Access Bank Ghana in collaboration with the Office of the Vice President, has donated 500 boxes of sanitary pads to the New Horizon Special School.

This donation forms part of the pledge the Bank made during a courtesy call by the Group Deputy Managing Director of Access Bank PLC, Chizoma Okoli, to the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, in July 2025. The visit was organized under the Access Women’s Network (AWN) and constitutes a component of the Bank’s expanding partnerships to advance female empowerment, education, and health outcomes.

Speaking on the donation, the Managing Director of Access Bank Ghana, Ms. Pearl Nkrumah, underscored the importance of the initiative. She noted that the Bank’s long standing focus on women’s empowerment continues to guide its social impact efforts. “Our commitment to empowering women is reflected in the initiatives we champion as a Bank. Since 2015, Access Bank has remained steadfast in advancing opportunities for women, including our drive to eliminate period poverty not only in Ghana but across Africa. We believe that when girls remain in school and preserve their dignity, communities flourish and futures are transformed.”

Receiving the donation on behalf of the school, the Management of the New Horizon Special School conveyed their appreciation for the gesture and the Bank’s continued support.
