As part of its commitment to education and community development, First Capital Bank, in partnership with Associação Pronwana, has since May of this year distributed more than 2,000 financial literacy books, produced in-house and authored by one of its employees, to three schools in Maputo Province: EPC 29 de Setembro, EPC Anexa Mbalane and EPC Mumemo. The delivery to a fourth school, EPC Marracuene Sede, is scheduled for October.

The official launch ceremony took place at the Bank’s current headquarters and was attended by Krishnah Rameschandra, Director of Business Banking and Retail at First Capital Bank, Solange Titoce, Human Resources Business Partner, and Alfredo Balate, representative of Associação Pronwana.

In her remarks, Krishnah Rameschandra expressed the Bank’s delight in offering these books, stressing that by providing financial literacy knowledge from an early age, children and young people are better equipped for a future that is more informed, balanced and full of opportunities. She also highlighted the work of Associação Pronwana, describing the positive impact it has generated in shaping readers and citizens as inspiring. “May these books strengthen your mission and help build a generation that is more informed, confident and prepared to face everyday challenges,” she said.

For her part, Solange Titoce emphasized that this initiative is aligned with the mission of First Capital Bank, which is to contribute to the sustainable development of the communities in which it operates. “Financial education is an essential tool to prepare young people to make responsible and informed decisions, both inside and outside the classroom,” she noted.

Meanwhile, Alfredo Balate, representative of Associação Pronwana, reinforced the importance of the partnership with the Bank, which over the past two years has consistently contributed to improving learning conditions in schools and, now, to strengthening students’ financial education.

Through this initiative, First Capital Bank continues its series of projects developed in partnership with Associação Pronwana, reaffirming its role not only as a partner in education but also as an active agent in promoting financial literacy and inclusion in the country.
