National Bank of Malawi (NBM) plc has significantly increased the financial package for its annual ‘12 Days of Christmas’ initiative to K250 million this year.
The new allocation represents a substantial rise from last year’s K130 million commitment.
The initiative is designed to support vulnerable communities across Malawi during the festive season.
NBM plc says the programme reflects the bank’s ongoing dedication to corporate social responsibility and its desire to make a meaningful impact during the holidays.
The funds will be used to assist various groups, including hospitals, orphanages, the elderly, and community-based organisations.
The bank has been running the ‘12 Days of Christmas’ initiative for several years, and it continues to grow both in scale and reach.
This year’s expansion signals NBM plc’s increased focus on social welfare amid rising economic challenges facing many Malawians.
According to the bank, the initiative is expected to touch thousands of lives during the festive period.
NBM plc has expressed its commitment to ensuring that the support reaches communities in all regions of the country.
The bank says it views this gesture as a way of spreading hope, unity, and compassion as Malawi approaches the end of the year.
