Khushhali Microfinance Bank Limited (KMBL), a leading financial institution of Pakistan, is introducing global standards of banking for the economic growth of the country under its broad-based ‘Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program to ensure the wellbeing of the wider community. KMBL’s CSR Program called ‘Education for Khushhali’ is providing educational support to deserving students in numerous underprivileged regions, and this initiative has been recently extended to two more districts including Haripur and Lalamusa.
In two separate initiatives launched by KMBL, its volunteers visited the Government Primary School at Dobandi Bala town in Haripur and the Government Elementary School at Chak Dina Town in Lalamusa respectively. KMBL’s volunteers highlighted the importance of education and encouraged students to perform better in studies, while presenting hundreds of deserving students with new school-bags, stationary-items, and uniforms. This program is aimed at helping and inspiring students to continue the pursuit of education.
The Founder and President of KMBL, Ghalib Nishtar, expressed his pleasure for being able to contribute towards the enlightenment of the next generation. He stated, “We have a commitment to improve academic facilities across underprivileged regions in the country. With better education, these students will be able to develop their communities for a progressive future. The inspiration behind this initiative is the enablement of students to pursue education despite financial-constraints. By providing educational accessories, tools, and methodologies, we are fulfilling their academic requirements.”
These initiatives by KMBL will go a long way towards making a positive impact in our communities, for whom the bank is operating and planning to expand its operations. The Khushhali Bank believes that education is the key to a bright future, especially for a developing nation like Pakistan. Since it is not easy for students from underserved segments of society to pursue quality education, KMBL has taken up the responsibility to bridge this gap, by assisting these students through its exemplary CSR Program.
Through such generous initiatives, KMBL is fulfilling its social commitments and making direct contributions to Sustainable Development Goals #4 and #8, facilitating access to completely free, equitable, and quality education. KMBL takes great pride in leading the new era of corporate social responsibility in the microfinance sector of Pakistan. KMBL’s innovative approach of CSR need assessment has been pivotal in identifying underserved communities and catering to their needs with impactful initiatives.
