SIMS commits GHS600,000 to support healthcare project in Volta Region
Stanbic Investment Management Services (SIMS) has committed GHS600,000 towards the construction of a community health post at Horsita in the Volta Region, in partnership with the Kekeli Foundation.
The initiative is expected to improve access to healthcare for residents within the community and travelers along the Ho-Adidome road, which serves parts of the Volta, Oti and Eastern Regions.
The SIMS team, led by Managing Director Kwabena Boamah, joined officials of the foundation to officially mark the beginning of the project.
Speaking during the visit, Mr. Boamah said the investment management firm considers the wellbeing of communities as important as supporting customers to achieve their financial ambitions.
“SIMS is committed to helping people achieve their financial goals, but beyond finance, we also care deeply about their health and wellbeing,” he stated.
According to him, the decision to support the project was influenced by the impact the Kekeli Foundation continues to make in the lives of children with disabilities and vulnerable persons within the area.
“We have seen the remarkable work the foundation has done over the years, especially with disabled children. Supporting the construction of a clinic that will serve not only the children but the wider community is something we are proud to be part of,” he added.
Mr. Boamah noted that the health facility aligns with the company’s broader commitment to supporting communities where it operates, stressing that businesses must go beyond financial performance and contribute meaningfully to people’s welfare.
“This project speaks to who we are as an institution. We are not only concerned about numbers; we are equally concerned about the wellbeing of people and the long-term impact we can create in communities,” he said.
Founder of the Kekeli Foundation, Carrie Brown, described the support from SIMS as timely, particularly as the population of the area continues to increase.
She explained that the growing number of residents and students within the community has heightened the demand for accessible healthcare services.
“This support has come at the right time. As the school expands and the community grows, the health needs of the people are also increasing. This clinic will make a significant difference in addressing those needs,” she said.
Ms. Brown expressed appreciation to SIMS for partnering with the foundation to improve healthcare access within the area.
“We are extremely grateful for the support and look forward to continuing this collaboration in ways that will positively impact more lives,” she added.
The proposed health post is expected to serve residents of Horsita and nearby communities as well as providing healthcare support for commuters along the busy Ho-Adidome stretch.
