“Nedbank Cares”; Making a Difference In Our Communities Corporate Social Investment Makes Business Sense |

Nedbank
Lesotho – From its inception in 1997, Nedbank
Lesotho Limited has made things happen in Lesotho,
and displayed commitment to the socio-economic
development of the country, its residents, and its
future. It is in this vein that the bank held an
inaugural “Nedbank Cares” CSI Campaign, from the
23rd-25th September, 2009.
The “Nedbank Cares” project is our unique way of
demonstrating the business value of being a socially
responsible corporate citizen, by being highly
involved in the communities in which we operate,
with emphasis on supporting OVCs and the disabled.
The campaign took place over 3 days, where the bank
and staff donated computers to three local
charities, as well as food and hygiene packs for the
220 children being looked after by the charities. We
do not see this as a one-time initiative, rather it
forms a critical part of our ongoing community
support and development program involving our own
staff, and partnered with local NGOs and
organizations looking after the livelihood of
orphaned and vulnerable children; including
Sentebale, Rotary in Lesotho, Beyond Bikes, and the
Queen’s National Trust Fund.
For this year’s “Nedbank Cares”, the bank has
partnered with Rachel Children’s Home for HIV/AIDS
Orphans in Maputsoe; St. Paul’s School for the Deaf
in Hlotse, and St. Angela Cheshire Home for Disabled
Children in Ha Seleso, Maseru.
“Nedbank Cares” is but part of our ongoing pursuit
to be the bank of choice in Lesotho for Basotho, by
caring and making a difference to all our
stakeholders and by meeting head-on the challenges
that face every Mosotho.
