Dar es Salaam, Monday 28th July 2008: The National Bank of Commerce (NBC) has donated educational equipment to two Dar es Salaam schools in its ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program which focuses on education.

Speaking in Dar es Salaam, NBC’s Marketing Manager, William Kallage said, “When NBC initiated this programme it was the beginning of our long commitment to ensuring educational excellence in schools around the country. We both realize and value the importance of having a properly equipped learning environment and these donations focus precisely on that.”

The program, which was initiated in 2007 when NBC celebrated its 40th anniversary, aims to engage the bank’s staff to actively participate in projects directed towards improving the communities in which they live. This donation is part of a five month programme that will see NBC staff take part in educational projects throughout the country worth over Tsh. 120 million. These projects seek to plough profits back into the communities that the bank serves. The NBC CSR policy focuses on three key areas namely Education, Health and Job Creation. The adopted theme for the NBC staff CSR initiatives, for 2008, is Education.
Through the 2008 NBC CSR initiative, NBC staff, throughout the country, will actively engage in 70 community projects focusing on education.
