The annual Access Bank Polo and Charity event held at the prestigious Guards Polo Club in Egham, Surrey once again brought together royalty, diplomats, political leaders, the business community, and supporters of Access Bank.

This achievement reflects the unwavering commitment of Access Bank, its partners, and donors to create a lasting impact in the lives of underprivileged children. These new classroom blocks will provide countless more children with access to a safe and nurturing educational environment.
Since its inception, this initiative has benefited over 80,000 children through the construction of schools funded by the event. These facilities not only provide education but also serve as beacons of hope, inspiring future generations to aspire for a brighter future.
