Blue Bankers walking the talk for Buy-a-Brick

Standard Bank Namibia’s Operations Shared Services Department (OSS) in Windhoek’s Reger Park area has tossed its hat in the ring, officially launching their personalised Buy-a-Brick fundraising initiative. Employees of the OSS department visited the bank’s chief executive, Vetumbuavi Mungunda (second from the left), recently to unveil their custom-made Buy-a-Brick t-shirts. Since the launch of the bank’s flagship initiative in 2015, which is aimed at aiding in alleviating the housing shortage in collaboration with the Shack Dwellers Federation of Namibia (SDFN), Blue Bankers have supported the initiative by donating to it. However, this year the bank’s employees have taken ownership of the Buy-a-Brick initiative with various departments in the Bank coming up with different campaigns to raise fund on a large scale across the country. Each T-shirt is selling for N$200, half of which will go to production costs and the remainder will be donated to the Buy-a-Brick initiative. Photo Contributed
