About this app

#Together4ALimb is a signature corporate and Social Investment (CSI) initiative of Stanbic IBTC. Although it is health related, it has an education element to it as well as an Economic Empowerment leg as it affords the recipients a level playing field to compete in life. An important aspect of the signature CSI is the charity walkathon, organised yearly to raise awareness of the plight and, hopefully, ginger deliberate actions by government, policymakers, and the general public to address the problem.

Together4ALimb focuses on transforming the lives of children with limb losses from congenital issues or birth defects, accidents or mismanaged injuries. Such children are given prosthetic limbs and an Educational trust fund.

#Together4ALimb has been in existence since 2015. Up till date, a total number of 100 children have benefitted from receiving Prosthesis change annually and an educational trust fund till the age of 18years. Currently, we have two children enrolled in creche, 6 beneficiaries in Nursery school, 53 beneficiaries in Primary School, 13 beneficiaries in Junior Secondary School, 16 beneficiaries in Senior Secondary School, four beneficiaries in Tertiary Institution and 6 chidren in a special programme.

What's new

Many of the limbless Nigerians are stigmatised and discriminated against and have no voice. It was in a bid to draw attention to the plight of limbless Nigerians while also providing succour that Stanbic IBTC chose to adopt Together4ALimb as its flagship corporate social investment initiative.

Through the initiative, Stanbic IBTC identifies children suffering from limb losses and provides them with prostheses.
