This year we have doubled our contribution from Shs15 Million contributed in 2018 to UGX 30 Million in 2019. As such we are happy to join NSSF in its noble cause aimed at refurbishing the learning environments of children who go to KCCA schools across the city and schools in rural areas upcountry.”

“As NSSF, we are grateful for Stanbic Bank’s contribution which is going towards joining our efforts in helping refurbish classrooms and learning environments. This is one of those calendar events that gives Ugandans, corporate entities, our members and staff an opportunity to make a significant contribution in improving the learning conditions of disadvantaged children,” she said.
