Exim Bank Tanzania has donated sanitary facilities to Kigoma municipality a purposive move that aims to complement the government efforts on keeping the city clean.
Speaking during the handover ceremony in Kigoma recently, Exim Bank (Kigoma) branch manager, Mr. Alphaxard Etanga, said despite being the part of the bank’s corporate social responsibility (CSR), the deliberate move aims at subsidizing the government efforts in maintaining a conducive environment for the city residents.
“It has been our spirit to give back to the community and today, after recognizing the great efforts made by government in providing sanitary services to its residents with the end goal of keeping the city clean, we decided to condense pressure into these efforts by donating these equipment which will also help to ensure that the city residents are placed far from the verge of contracting epidemic diseases,” Mr. Etanga said while adding:
“For Exim Bank, building close ties with its public means being involved to communities and contributing to societal well-being. Handing over of these sanitary facilities came as an easy decision for the bank and we are pleased to play part in boosting the environmental sector in the country.”
He said the government could not solve all the challenges that confront the environmental sector; therefore it is up to other corporate organizations that should also enumerate the gesture of supporting the government efforts on environment conservation.
Expressing gratitude to the bank for the donation Kigoma - Regional Commissioner, Lt. (rtd) Issa Machibya said that the donation came at the right time as the municipal was running short in some equipment and facilities.
“We want to thank Exim Bank for their zeal and commitment in supporting the environmental sector in the country. The presentation of these sanitary equipment will go a long way in helping keeping our city clean,” said Mr. Machibya.
