The donation was spearheaded by members of the bank’s Nexus Inductees Class under the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme (FHHP); a staff-driven CSR initiative that empowers employees across Fidelity Bank branches to identify critical needs in their communities, raise funds, and implement impactful projects. The bank’s management complements staff donations by matching the raised funds to double the impact of each initiative.
Speaking during the donation, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head of Brand and Communications at Fidelity Bank, reiterated the bank’s commitment to uplifting its host communities.
“The community is an essential part of our success story. At Fidelity Bank, we believe that giving back is not just a responsibility, but a moral obligation. Through initiatives like the FHHP, we continue to deliver lasting value beyond banking,” Dr. Nwagboh said.
Adetutu Ipaye, Director-in-Charge at the Yaba Old People’s Home, expressed deep appreciation for the gesture.
“Support like this from Fidelity Bank is crucial to sustaining our mission and improving the quality of life for the elderly. We urge more organizations to follow in their footsteps, as such contributions help our residents live with dignity and comfort,” she noted.
Also speaking, Mr. Kamoru Adeyetu, a resident of the Home, shared heartfelt gratitude:
“Your presence here today has brought us joy. More than the gifts, it’s your visit that truly warms our hearts. We hope you will continue to visit — it means the world to us.”
