The
management of Kumasi Asante Kotoko has received a Gh₵50,000 sponsorship package
from Noble Dream Microfinance Limited.
The
financial support is to aid the team’s campaign in the CAF African Champions
League.
Kotoko
kicked off the competition with an exciting 7-0 win over Sony Ela Nguema at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
Marketing
Manager of Noble Dream, Kwame Basoa is hopeful the sponsorship would ginger the
Porcupine Warriors to bring joy to the country.
“We
hope that they’ll do well and with this type of entertainment, we know some of
our customers, who are most of the time in the Ashanti region, would also be
very happy”, he said.
The
firm has also made several corporate donations to orphanages, hospitals and
mental rehabilitation homes.
Meanwhile,
Mr. Basoa says the company has been responding favourably to calls for service extension
to rural economies.
The
upsurge in the number of firms operating in the financial services sector has focused
more on supporting urban dwellers with loans and financial advice.
The
Ghana Association of Microfinance Companies has prevailed on members to turn
attention to the rural areas with financial products.
Noble
Dream, one of the fastest growing microfinance companies, is focused on creating
opportunities for people in local communities to save and make credit
accessible to all.
The
Marketing Manager expects private businesses to take up the challenge of
leading rural economic development.
The
firm prides itself as the biggest in the sector with its 20 branch network and 220
thousand customer base, as at end of 2012.
Mr.
Basoe believes the Bank of Ghana can help protect industry interest in closing
firms refusing to submit to regulation.
