The donation is valued at P25,600.00.

As a reputable and responsible corporate citizen, we found it fit to donate full sets school uniform to Bogogobo primary school students after the realisation that children at the school were lacking proper school attire and most of them barely come to school due to this challenge.”

“We are proud of the impact this donation will make, a small gesture towards something we are very passionate about: the education experience and its ability to transform lives. Through First Capital Bank Botswana Corporate Social Responsibility, our aim is to also bring greater positive exposure to the community as we believe in changing people’s lives for the better. It is our sincere hope that through our continued efforts, many more lives will be impacted for the better and a greater impact on our communities will be experienced,” concluded Viljoen.
