The Zambia International Commercial Bank (ZICB) has been honoured with the “Best Community Social Impact Award,” at the 5th CSR Conference and Awards Ceremony hosted on 17th February at Radisson Blue Hotel in Livingstone.
ZICB’s remarkable initiative that caught the CSR Network Zambia awards committee’s attention was the construction of a girls’ dormitory at the Widows Orphans Needy and Sick Orphanage (WONS) in Chunga District, Lusaka.
This project exemplifies ZICB’s dedication to uplifting vulnerable members of society and creating lasting social impact.
This prestigious accolade which comes at the back of yet another successful year for the local Bank, is a testament to ZICB’s unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in the community it operates in.
The newly constructed dormitory at the orphanage not only provides a safe and comfortable living space for girls but also significantly contributes to their education and well-being.
ZICB’s recognition at the 5th CSR Awards themed “Embracing Partnerships, Innovation and Impact; Celebrating Innovation, Dedication and the Remarkable Impact achieved,” reflects the Bank’s understanding of the broader role it plays in the community beyond its financial services.
Additionally, ZICB’s recognition at the CSR Awards which are organized to recognize various initiatives in environmentally sustainable management, promoting best business practices and celebrating outstanding corporate social responsibility initiatives, highlighted the Bank as a shining example in the financial sector.
This annual event brought together industry leaders, government officials, and humanitarian organizations, creating a platform to share best practices and inspire others to contribute to the betterment of society.
ZICB’s dedication to social impact goes beyond charity; it aligns with the Bank’s broader vision of creating a sustainable future for all while supporting local wealth creation.
By investing in projects like the girls’ dormitory, ZICB is not only fulfilling its corporate social responsibility but also fostering a culture of positive change and community development.
As we celebrate this significant achievement, ZICB extends its gratitude to the CSR Network Zambia, the Widows Orphans Needy and Sick Orphanage (WONS), and all stakeholders who have been instrumental in making this project a reality.
ZICB remains committed to being a catalyst for positive change, and this award serves as a powerful encouragement to continue striving for excellence in community social impact.
