Following the celebrations of World Savings Day, observed on 31 October, First Capital Bank organised a financial education initiative for children on 5 November 2026, aimed at encouraging the adoption of savings habits from an early age. The initiative took place in Maputo and will continue in the cities of Beira and Nampula during the month of November.

In Maputo, the activity was organised in collaboration with Associação ProNwana and brought together 40 pupils from Escola Primária Completa 12 de Outubro, located in Marracuene District, who visited the Bank’s premises to learn about its operations and deepen their understanding of financial education.

During the visit, the pupils gained insight into how a financial institution operates through a guided tour of First Capital Bank’s Head Office branch and participated in an interactive session in the training room. They also had the opportunity to engage with employees from different departments, ask questions and gain a better understanding of the importance of saving and managing money responsibly.

The initiative also included the distribution of Financial Education books and piggy banks, reinforcing the knowledge shared during the visit and encouraging children to develop savings habits from an early age.

“We believe that financial education plays a fundamental role in building a more informed and sustainable future. By giving children the opportunity to learn how a bank operates and understand the importance of saving from an early age, we are helping them develop skills that can make a difference throughout their lives. This initiative reflects our commitment to promoting financial literacy and creating a positive impact in the communities where we operate,” said Naomi Rocha, Events, CSR and Sponsorships Manager at First Capital Bank.

The activities will also be extended to Beira and Nampula during November. In Beira, the initiative will take place at Projecto Esperança, with an expected participation of 100 children, while in Nampula, it will be held at Mosteiro Madre de Deus – Lar da Nazaré, where 85 children are expected to take part.

Through these initiatives, First Capital Bank reaffirms its commitment to promoting financial literacy and corporate social responsibility, contributing to the development of a savings culture and encouraging younger generations to adopt healthy financial habits and make more informed decisions throughout their lives.
