Branch Nigeria, a leading digital financial services provider in Nigeria, has donated laptops, educational materials and personal health care items to students at Scepter Comprehensive College, Alapere, Lagos, as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative.
Branch Nigeria Managing Director Dayo Odulade-Ademola said the donation exemplifies the company's long-term commitment to social impact, financial inclusion and educational development in marginalized communities.
“At Branch NG, we believe that every child deserves access to tools that can unlock their potential, whether in the classroom or in their personal development journey. Our donation of laptops, health care items and sporting goods is part of our responsibility to support digital inclusion and encourage well-rounded development among students. We are committed to investing in communities and empowering youth with the resources they need to learn, innovate and excel.”
Emmanuella Ekanem, Head of People Operations at the branch Nigeria, agreed with this sentiment. “At Branch, we believe that access creates opportunity. By providing these digital tools and essential items, we are helping students build the confidence and skills they need to succeed. Supporting youth in our communities is a core part of who we are, and we are committed to continuing to make this impact,” she said.
Ekanem said the initiative reflects the branch’s intrinsic culture of empathy, service and long-term community investment.
The initiative, aimed at increasing digital literacy and promoting overall well-being, is part of the company's broader vision to equip the next generation with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven world.
