Excellence and caring –<br />
a successful combination<br />
Standard Bank wins major awards and puts literacy on the front foot in <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong>.<br />
The recent award of best "Professional Services'" to<br />
Standard Bank by the Durban Chamber of Commerce<br />
and Industry (DCCI) came on top of a hat-full of awards<br />
which the banking group won in the Banker Africa<br />
awards in early <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
For the children of six schools in areas where Standard<br />
Bank <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong> has provided mobile libraries,<br />
Standard Bank is a certified winner as a corporate citizen<br />
which cares for the communities in which it operates.<br />
The launch of the Standard Bank “Every Child Must<br />
Read” campaign was held at the bank’s regional office<br />
in the Kingsmead Office Park on 29 March <strong>2016</strong>,<br />
with the Deputy Minister of the Department of Basic<br />
Education, Mr Enver Surty, in attendance.<br />
The project provides mobile libraries to six deserving<br />
schools located in the vicinity of the bank's major<br />
branches in <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong>. These areas are Newcastle,<br />
Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay, Durban/Westville,<br />
Phoenix/Umhlanga and Chatsworth/Pinetown.<br />
The provincial head of Standard Bank <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong>,<br />
Mr Imraan Noorbhai, spoke at the launch, where he<br />
made the link between education and prosperity. “A<br />
literate, educated society is a safer, healthier and more<br />
prosperous society. So by promoting reading, writing,<br />
and other academic subjects it will lead the way in promoting<br />
prosperity through knowledge,” said Noorbhai.<br />
“It is envisaged that the introduction of these mobile<br />
libraries to the six previously disadvantaged schools<br />
will go a long way towards improving the literacy rate<br />
in our province.”<br />
Deputy Minister Surty praised Standard Bank for this<br />
initiative and urged all South Africans to come on board<br />
with support.<br />
