Kina Bank has provided essential support to Magna Carta, a human rights organization in Port Moresby, in its efforts to combat gender-based violence (GBV), sexual abuse, and sorcery accusation-related violence (SARV).
On Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, 2024, the People and Culture team from Kina Bank donated vital supplies to help survivors access justice and rebuild their lives.
The donation included rice, juice, biscuits, noodles, tinned protein, tissues, feminine products, soaps, and cleaning detergents.
The items were handed over to Shirley Kaupa, Program Coordinator of Magna Carta, who expressed heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the organization.
Kina Bank’s HR Business Partner, Akino Wano, explained that the People and Culture team selects a community or organization to support each year.
“This year, we recognized Magna Carta’s important work in helping survivors and advocating for justice.”
“Our team personally contributed to the purchase of these items to support their operations and reduce expenses on essential supplies,” she said.
Ms. Kaupa from Mangna Carta shared her appreciation, saying, “We are grateful to Kina Bank for recognizing our need for assistance and visiting us on Christmas Eve.”
“This donation will not only help survivors who come to us but will also be shared equally with other safe houses and community homes in Port Moresby.”
The contribution is part of Kina Bank’s ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, where various business units work to give back to communities in meaningful ways.
