Nairobi, Kenya, October 26, 2021 - Absa Bank has been at the forefront of community development through its citizenship programs, with the latest initiative being a KES 2.9 million donation to the 'For the Love of Girls' project.
The project aims to identify and support the most disenfranchised members of the community, proposing effective mitigation solutions to address their challenges.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, Absa Bank Chief Strategy Officer Moses Muthui reiterated the bank's commitment to its brand purpose of bringing possibilities to life.
"As part of our Force for Good initiatives, we are honoured to partner with For the Love of Girls Programme to find solutions to the myriad of challenges confronting young women in our communities," Muthui said.
Ms. Fayruz Aden, Co-Founder and Executive Director of For the Love of Girls, received the cheque on behalf of the organization and thanked Absa Bank for the donation.
"We are grateful to Absa Kenya for this generous donation. We will be able to reach almost 1000 girls with this money by working closely with marginalized girls, particularly those from juvenile detention centers," Aden said.
