Pearl Bank has extended financial support worth five million Uganda shillings (UXG 5 million) towards the construction of a new classroom block at Ngomanungi Senior Secondary School, in fulfilment of its education CSI pillar, which focuses on improving access to quality education and reinforces its purpose of fostering prosperity for Ugandans.
Ngomanungi Senior Secondary School is a community-driven, non-profit institution founded by St. Andrew’s Ngoma Church of Uganda, and the classroom block is expected to provide a safer, more conducive learning environment for students and support improved educational outcomes in the surrounding community.
Education is among Pearl Bank's Corporate Social Investment (CSI) pillars and broader strategy, which focuses on sustainable impact across various sectors, including education, health, environment, humanitarian support and financial literacy.
Pearl Bank’s Regional Head of Distribution-Western, Arthur Mujuni, noted that education remains a critical driver of long-term social and economic transformation.
Mujuni added, “By implementing these initiatives, the bank not only upholds its promise of fostering prosperity for Ugandans but continues to embody the true aspects of a homegrown bank that inspires growth and development for its people in communities where they operate, so that they contribute towards the country's development agenda, especially in a critical sector like education.”
Ngomanungi School, located in Sheema, is a pillar of its community by providing quality education despite infrastructure challenges. The new classroom block will increase the school's capacity, especially with a growing student population.
The Board Chairman of the school, Rev. Perez Byaruhanga expressed his gratitude to Pearl Bank for its generosity, mentioning that this contribution will have a big impact on the quality of learning for current and future students.
Earlier this year, Pearl Bank also extended support to the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) with a donation of water tanks to ensure access to clean water in a sustainable way and assorted food items in recognition of the holy month of Ramadhan.
