THE National Bank of Commerce (NBC) has donated T-shirts valued at Tanzania shillings 7.500,000 to mark International Women's Day, under the NBC Colleagues Initiative which is the bank's ongoing programme.

Speaking during the handover ceremony held at the Ministry of Gender, Women and Children offices in Dar es Salaam, NBC'S Marketing Manager William Kallaghe said NBC is ready to help push for the development of women in Tanzania, as they play a very vital role in the nation's development.

"At NBC we believe there is always something more that can be done to ensure better living conditions, especially for women, who hold the very core of our development together. It is of key importance that they prosper, for when they succeed they succeed with us all, and when they grow they grow with the nation.

NBC stands in awe of the Tanzanian woman's strength and grace. We are inspired by her journey to peace, prosperity and a hopeful future. And today we stand proud to offer her our help in finding it", said Mr. Kallaghe.

Speaking as she received the donation at the event, Minister for Gender, Women and Children, Margareth Sitta, thanked NBC for showing their support for women, and called on other institutions to show their support in any way they can.

"NBC have taken an important step in joining us as we prepare to mark International Women's Day. Their donation will be remembered as we celebrate, and their presence will be felt through it.

Thank you NBC for showing women all over Tanzania that you are not too busy to remember and celebrate their hard work and efforts to make this great nation what it is. I call on other institutions to do likewise and show solidarity, as we celebrate our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters. This year we are marking International Women's Day in Tabora", said Minister Sitta.

Under the NBC Colleagues Initiative, each bank branch and directorate is allocated TZS 2,500,000 to donate to any educational project that impacts the lives of many. This corporate social responsibility programme aims at improving the quality of education in schools countrywide. NBC has spent over 200 million shillings towards education initiatives to help schools in the communities that the bank serves.

NBC is one of the most represented retail banks in the country with over 40 years' experience in providing financial services. NBC apart from offering traditional banking services, also prides itself on an expanded branch network and footprint. NBC has 56 branches and 3 business centres, 173 Visa enabled ATMs, and 393 Points of Sales strategically located throughout the country. NBC employs over 1400 staff.
