The Alternative Bank Limited has announced a strategic collaboration with FoodBank and Sterling One Foundation to raise approximately N20 million in support of hunger alleviation and educational initiatives.
This initiative aligns with the theme of the African Union Summit 2024: “Educate and Skill Africa for the 21st Century.”
Hassan Yusuf, the Managing Director of The Alternative Bank, unveiled this plan in a press release, highlighting the forthcoming AltWalk event as a pivotal fundraising platform.
Yusuf said: “Through this initiative, we aim to mobilise contributions from both internal and external stakeholders, reaffirming our commitment to education and societal welfare.”
The fundraising campaign aims to secure N20 million, with the proceeds serving dual purposes: providing meals for underserved communities and orphanages through the Lagos FoodBank initiative and delivering quality educational support via Sterling One Foundation.
This campaign targets individuals, families, businesses and organisations committed to ending hunger, improving education, fostering healthy living, and positively impacting society.
Prospective donors are encouraged to contribute through https://altbank.ng/walk/.
Stakeholder participation and donations are poised to substantially impact critical social issues, including hunger reduction, enhanced education and healthier lifestyles.
Yusuf emphasised AltBank’s dedication to empowering customers through innovative solutions in health, food security, and education, positioning them for success in the 21st century.
He stressed that education is central to the bank’s mission of bolstering the economy and enhancing financial well-being across society.
