Nedbank pledges R12m to Covid-19 relief efforts in vulnerable communities

Nedbank has committed to help alleviate hunger and provide emergency relief to the most vulnerable SA communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. In partnership with The Department of Health, the financial services group made a R12m donation for hunger relief efforts and to help mobilize, train and equip volunteers with the necessary information and hygiene products to drive awareness across the country, prioritizing provinces with the highest infection rates.

“Nedbank has access to detailed demographic data through our national footprint and financial systems will enable us to identify those communities which have the biggest need and where we can make the most impact, which includes rural and informal settlements. We have recognized that good nutrition and hygiene will be equally vital to proactively reduce infections and assist in maintaining the health of those affected,” said Mike Brown, Nedbank CEO.
