The FNB Zambia Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to providing real help by supporting the communities it serves. As the community of the Eastern Province celebrated the Nc’wala ceremony, a time of cultural celebration and unity, the FNB Zambia Foundation has extended its impact on the province.
As part of its ongoing dedication to early childhood development in health, the FNB Zambia Foundation donated to Chipata Central Hospital.
The donation included essential medical equipment and mattresses for the maternity and children’s wards.
This contribution aims to enhance healthcare delivery and improve maternity and pediatric care. The Foundation continues its long-term efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, with previous initiatives including the construction of the Kalikiliki maternity annex. The Foundation has called on other stakeholders to collaborate in further improving healthcare access and services in Zambia.
In addition, the FNB Zambia Foundation supported a climate action initiative aligned with this year’s Nc’wala 2025 ceremony by donating 500 fruit trees to the Chipata community through the Nc’wala Organizing Committee. This initiative aligns with national efforts to combat the drought experienced by the country. The FNB Zambia Foundation Manager, Catherine Chime Chama emphasized that planting trees is a vital step in protecting the environment for future generations and expressed gratitude for the role of the Paramount Chief in spearheading this initiative.
“This collaborative effort with the Nc’wala Organizing Committee and local leaders reinforces our belief that community-driven action leads to sustainable impact. Planting trees is just the beginning—what matters most is nurturing and protecting them.,” said FNB Zambia Foundation Manager Catherine Chime Chama.
The FNB Zambia Foundation remains committed to driving positive change and is dedicated to making a difference in communities through strategic interventions in key areas such as early childhood development in health and education, water and sanitation, and climate action. Through partnerships and impactful initiatives, the FNB Zambia Foundation continues to play a vital role in fostering social and economic development across Zambia.
