Kumari Bank Limited has collaborated with Food for Life Nepal, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility. The said-organization is a non-profit, charitable public trust working with the mission of mitigating the nutritional barriers in children's education via provision of mid-day meals to community-school enrolled children, hailing from low-income and underprivileged families in Nepal.

Several studies demonstrate strong correlations between nutritional deficiencies in children and poor academic attendance and performance. For households with budget constraints, already stretched by rent and utilities, nutritional needs, though crucial, often remains an afterthought.

With the core-intention of eradicating the detrimental impact nutritional deficiencies can have on children's educational development, the Bank has extended a financial support of NPR 500,000.00, as a gesture of encouragement and support to the noble undertakings of Food for Life Nepal.

Kumari Bank’s Deputy CEO, Mr. Rajib Giri handed over the cheque of the said-amount to Food for Life Nepal’s Head of Operations Ms. Apara Thapa Bhattarai, in presence of officials from both parties. The Bank has been religiously abiding by its Corporate Social Responsibility, through active involvement in a diverse range of activities focused on Health, Education, Environment, and Heritage sectors of our society. The Bank which has been delivering consistent, modern services throughout the nation via its extensive branch, BLB and ATM network pledges to render more impact in the society through its CSR endeavors, in the days ahead.
