Barclays Bank has donated US$45 000 to a UNICEF facilitated programme called the Child-Friendly National Budgeting Initiative (CFNBI) which aims to support children and child development in the country.
Barclays managing director, Mr George Guvamatanga said this gesture was an empowerment drive by his organisation to help transform the lives of young people. “For Barclays, the partnership is centred on making a difference in the lives of what we believe are the most important elements of our country and the world at large, our children – the future,” he said. “Around the world, communities are facing unprecedented social and financial challenges. This is especially acute for disadvantaged young people.”
He said the skills will help young people to overcome challenges they face to better provide for themselves and for their families and ultimately support longer term growth in the economy.
“I believe that this programme is particularly relevant to our youths, it will contribute positively to the Zimbabwe we are striving to build and will set good precedence for generations.”
