PostBank Uganda, has donated non food items including mattresses and blankets to over 100 affected people of Kiteezi.
While teaming up with Uganda Red Cross Society, (URCS) the humanitarian support is part of the response efforts towards supporting the families that were affected by the collapse of the Kiteezi Landfill in Gayaza, Wakiso.
While handing over PostBank Uganda’s support to enable Uganda Red Cross with the humanitarian response, Martin Anioka, Chief Risk Officer at PostBank Uganda says that the bank is people centric and dismayed with the incident, during this trying time.
“Through our Corporate Social Responsibility arm, we have joined efforts with Uganda Red Cross Society towards this humanitarian cause; by giving non food items including mattresses and blankets to over 100 affected people and we hope this token from PostBank Uganda and what has been extended by other partners will enable our people to gradually recuperate and get through this challenging time,” he notes.
“In line with our purpose, and ethos, we are on a journey to Grow and Prosper. All our undertakings are centered on community because we want our nation to thrive, so that all citizens Grow and Prosper at whatever level.
As a Ugandan Bank, we stand with all the victims, their families, and the country at large. We condole with all the families who lost their loved ones and pray that all the souls of the deceased rest in peace. We have a spirit of overcoming as a Country, and with all the people of Kiteezi, we will overcome this season, and together we will continue to Grow and Prosper as a nation,” Anioka adds
John Cliff Wamala, URCS Communications Officer has appreciated PostBank Uganda for the support he notes has come in handy.
“This will go a long way in helping the special groups, such as mothers and children who need these mattresses to sleep comfortably. We are in the rainy season, and people sleep on mats and tarpaulins,” Wamala remarks.
