On Friday, 8 May 2026, Centenary Bank donated sanitation materials to Mchinji District Council in support of the Presidential directive on sanitation.

The donated items included waste bins, gumboots, shovels and wheelbarrows, among others, to help improve cleanliness and sanitation in the district.

Mchinji District Commissioner Reinghard Chavula received the donation on behalf of the Council and thanked Centenary Bank for being the first institution to respond to the call.

“The contribution from Centenary Bank is a strong demonstration of partnership and corporate responsibility. We sincerely appreciate this support, as the sanitation materials provided will greatly enhance cleanliness efforts in our markets and public spaces,” said Chavula.

She said the donated materials will help improve waste management and keep markets and public places cleaner, leading to better health and safer trading environments for communities.

Centenary Bank Mchinji Branch Manager Faliot Amanzi said the Bank remains committed to environmental sustainability and protecting the environment for future generations.

He added that environmental stewardship continues to guide the Bank’s daily operations and long-term sustainability goals.

Chavula also encouraged other organisations to support government development initiatives, saying partnerships between the private sector and government are important in improving people’s lives.
