In the face of the devastating impact of Cyclone Chido, which affected more than 620,000 people in northern Mozambique, Millennium bim has once again shown its commitment to the Mozambican people, in this case those living in that region of the country. As part of the "Mais Moçambique pra Mim" social responsibility programme, the Bank donated approximately 70 tonnes of essential goods – a gesture intended to ease suffering and restore hope for 1,500 families in the district of Mecúfi, in Cabo Delgado, and Namiroa, in the district of Eráti, in Nampula, among the areas hit hardest by the calamity.
The initiative, carried out by Millennium bim's volunteer force, was undertaken in collaboration with the National Institute for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction (INGD) and local authorities, ensuring immediate support for those who needed it most.
The donation of these essential goods is, above all, an embrace of solidarity and a gesture of hope.
The Chairman of the Executive Committee of Millennium bim, Rui Pedro, declared: "More than a financial institution, Millennium bim has for three decades been a partner committed to the life and well-being of Mozambican society. In a moment of pain and uncertainty, we cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of our brothers and sisters. The donation of these essential goods is, above all, an embrace of solidarity and a gesture of hope. We stand together in the reconstruction and in the search for better days for all."
With a consolidated presence across the country, Millennium bim has strengthened its social impact through the "Mais Moçambique pra Mim" programme, which drives initiatives in the areas of education, culture, sport, health and financial inclusion.
The response to Cyclone Chido reinforces the Bank's continuing commitment to standing alongside the communities in which it operates, closely following the evolution of the situation and collaborating with local authorities and organisations to ensure sustained and effective support.
