Speaking at the unveiling, Head, Corporate Communications & Brands Management at Access Bank (Ghana) PLC, Edward Nelson-Addy expressed excitement about Nana Tea's new role.
"We are delighted to welcome Nana Tea as the Ambassador for 'A sandal more for a better tomorrow'. His passion for giving back and empowering the less privileged resonates deeply with our mission of building a more inclusive and sustainable future. Together, we will reach more communities and create lasting change," he said.
He also shared his enthusiasm about joining as an ambassador, pledging to leverage his platforms and influence to inspire more Ghanaians to support the cause.
Launched in 2023, 'A Sandal More for a Better Tomorrow' has so far achieved remarkable milestones, notable among them are 210 schools in all 16 Regions reached, over 21,000 sandals delivered to schoolchildren, and over 200 trees planted.
Additionally, over 70,000 schoolchildren have been educated on the importance of waste recycling, environmental sustainability, and the benefits of tree planting.
This education empowers the next generation to become more environmentally conscious, ensuring that the principles of sustainability are passed down to future leaders who will continue to protect and nurture the environment.
The initiative has also impacted the local economy by creating over 500 jobs for shoemakers in the Ashanti Region.
This provides sustainable employment for local artisans and boosts the region's economic growth.
Now in its third phase, the project continues to reinforce Access Bank's dedication to sustainability, community development, and the wellbeing of children across Ghana.
