THE Trust Bank at the weekend donated GH¢59,000 to 12 deprived public schools and a hospital at a ceremony in Accra.
The donation forms part of the bank’s corporate social reponsibility of helping deprived schools in the country.
Eleven of the schools received a cheque for GH¢4,000 each, while the maternity ward of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital had a GH¢10,000 cheque with the Ghana Society for the Blind receiving a cheque for GH¢5,000.
The schools are the Anumle Cluster of Schools, the Madina 2 and 3 Cluster of Schools, Christ Faith Mission Basic Schools, Adjiringano Basic School, Ashaiman-Zenu Cluster of Schools, Kpone Methodist Cluster of Schools and the Anglican Cluster of Schools.
The rest are the St Joseph R. C. Junior High School, Santasi M. A. Junior High School, Nwamasi M. A. Junior High School, Madina D. A. 5 Primary School, the Ghana Society for the Blind and the maternity ward of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
The schools were also given textbooks, computers and other educational materials to enhance the academic performance of the pupils.
Mr Owusu-Hemeng said the bank and the Merchant Bank of Ghana were holding discussions on a merger to be concluded by the end of the first quarter of next year.
He expressed the belief that the merger would have the requisite financial muscle and synergy to meet the intensified and ever increasing competition both locally and internationally.
“We are confident that a true universal bank will emerge at the end of the integration process to provide customers with flexible financial products and services to meet their varied and increasing needs,” he said.
He gave the assurance that TTB was always ready to provide passionate solutions to its customers.
Some of the beneficiary schools appealed to the bank for libraries and computer laboratories.
The schools also expressed their profound gratitude to the bank for its support.
