each to St Martins Secondary School at Adoagyiri and

Nsawam Secondary School and constructed a canteen for the

Nsawam Presbyterian Primary School. Mr. Kyeremeh said that the bank donated spraying

machines, Willington boots and cutlasses to Akuapem North

and South Assemblies for distribution to award winners at last

year's farmers' day celebration. He stated that the bank through its micro finance

programme gave loans to farmers and small-scale business

operators to enhance economic activities in the areas. Mr. Adu William Awuku, Nsawam Branch Manager of the
