Tubusereia Primary School in the Central Province recently received 17 desks and chairs for its lower primary students with the assistance of Kina Bank through its Kina Bank Strongim Komuniti Grants (SKG) program.
Small-scale initiatives that complement Kina Bank’s sustainability and community service values are supported by the SKG program, which is only available to Kina Bank employees.
Staff members are invited to apply for grants every three months to help them carry out a small community initiative in their local communities.
One of the grant beneficiaries, Senior International Operations Officer Susanna Guru, applied for seats and desks for her community school.
She expressed gratitude to Kina Bank for the support, stating that the school desks will be of tremendous service to both the Tubusereia community and the school.
“I am grateful to my employer, Kina Bank, for this grant, which will support the education and growth of Tubusereia’s children.”
As part of their community service project, Guru and her coworkers from Kina Bank’s International Operations division also donated school supplies in addition to the desks.
After accepting the donations, school principal Kwara Kwara thanked Kina Bank.
“There are not enough desks and chairs at our school to accommodate the 937 students.”
“The majority of our pupils sit on the classroom floor, particularly those in lower primary school. These resources will enable our pupils to grow, learn, and achieve.”
Through a number of community initiatives that prioritize issues including women’s empowerment, environmental preservation, water and sanitation, education, and health, Kina Bank is committed to helping its local communities.
