Stanbic Bank Botswana joined the rest of the diaspora in celebrating Africa’s youth. Youth Day is a pivotal reminder of the role that young people played in the struggle for freedom and democracy in South Africa. The Class of 1976 exposed to the international community the brutality of apartheid and in turn ignited a global force of resistance against the country, which became instrumental in dismantling apartheid.
Said Stanbic Bank Botswana Chief Executive, Sam Minta, “As Stanbic Bank Botswana we believe our youth are our future, and we must invest in and work with them to create an ecosystem that moves youth unemployment to a single digit number. The Day of the African Child serves as an opportunity to raise awareness for the ongoing need to improve the lives of children living across our beautiful continent. Africa’s youth are the beacon of tomorrow. The Bank’s overarching aspiration is to improve the lives of Batswana in line with its Business Strategy which includes the Youth Employability Agenda. The Bank aims to empower Botswana’s youth with the necessary motivation and infrastructure to help improve employability. This is yet another opportunity for the Bank to help build legacies and invest in youth employability and entrepreneurship, working with key partners and stakeholders across the public and private sector to realise this ambition.”
Stanbic Bank Botswana strongly believes that the youth are the future, and must be invested in. The Bank prides itself in its continued efforts to help the youth of Botswana turn their dreams into reality and build their legacies. They do so through a number of initiatives, including the Bank’s flagship youth hub AcceleR8. The hub serves as a dynamic and fluid platform that fuels innovation and ideation, as well as incubation for impactful businesses.This initiative is part of Stanbic Bank’s Social Economic and Environmental (SEE) Value Driver, which seeks to ensure that Stanbic Bank’s sustainability is inextricably linked to the wellbeing and prosperity of the societies in which the Bank is privileged to operate.
“At Stanbic Bank Botswana we seek to empower our youth in order to enable them to turn their dreams into reality. Our unwavering commitment in helping them build their own legacies fuels our passion to inspire a future of impactful youth owned businesses; creating the next generation of Africa’s Millionaires.” concluded Minta.
