Bayport marked its 20th-anniversary celebrations with several community impact activities, including financial literacy workshops in selected senior high schools across the country.
The company also donated 200 dual desks to the Bolgatanga Model Preparatory Primary School in the Upper East Region and Nsein Methodist Primary School in the Western Region as part of efforts to promote conducive learning in both schools.
The staff of the company also embarked on voluntary humanitarian initiatives to support underprivileged children of the Haven of Hope Foundation at Medie, Nsawam, and the Nectar Foundation at Krobo Odumase, all in the Eastern Region.
They donated 30 laptops and essential supplies to both institutions, while Joshua Doku Korley, a student of the Nectar Foundation, received a full Bayport scholarship covering his four-year tertiary education in technology.
Some long-serving staff who have worked for the company for between 15 to 20 years respectively were duly recognized and rewarded for their commitment and contributions to the growth of the business over the past two decades.
Bayport's mission is to facilitate the dreams of ordinary Ghanaians, and it has grown significantly since its foundation in 2003.
