In 2025, the year in which it celebrated 30 years in Mozambique, Millennium bim travelled the length of the country, from north to south, to be where Mozambicans need it most. Through its Corporate Social Responsibility programme “Mais Moçambique pra Mim”, the institution promoted initiatives that brought education, health, the environment, culture, sport and humanitarian support to thousands of people, reinforcing a commitment as old as the Bank's own history: supporting human and community development.
Education: where the future gains space
In Matola, construction began on three new classrooms, with the aim of helping to improve teaching conditions for around 2,500 pupils at the Matola-Sede Complete Primary School. This investment has improved the day-to-day school conditions of the children, contributing to a higher quality of education. In Maputo, the rehabilitation of the Zimpeto Municipal Library has given back to the community a space for study, research and discovery, making it more inclusive, functional and ready to welcome new generations of readers and students. In Niassa, approximately 800 secondary school students took part in financial literacy activities, acquiring tools for more informed and sustainable decisions.
Health: caring for those who care
At Maputo Central Hospital, the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit was rehabilitated, providing better conditions for the treatment of children in critical situations.
In Nampula, the maternity ward of the 25 de Setembro Health Centre received mattresses and other essential items, reinforcing dignity and comfort at the most delicate moment in the lives of mothers and newborns. When Cyclone Chido struck the provinces of Cabo Delgado and Nampula, Millennium bim stood alongside the most vulnerable communities, distributing around 70 tonnes of essential goods, in coordination with the INGD, to support the families affected.
Environment: regenerate, protect, give back
In 2025, 4,800 mangrove seedlings were planted in Inhambane, Sofala and Nampula. This gesture strengthened the contribution to the regeneration of coastal ecosystems and to mitigating the effects of climate change. The Bank also established partnerships with Gorongosa National Park and Maputo National Park, reinforcing its commitment to preserving biodiversity, protecting the environment and sustainable community development.
Culture: celebrating talent and strengthening partnerships
In the cultural sphere, Millennium bim strengthened its partnerships with Camões – Portuguese Cultural Centre and the Franco-Mozambican Cultural Centre, two pillars of artistic activity in Mozambique. Throughout the year, it supported exhibitions by artists who elevate the country's cultural identity, among them Sebastião Coana, Nuno Silas, Reinata Sadimba, Funcho and Gonçalo Mabunda. The 30th anniversary celebrations also included the photographic exhibition “Sempre que houver um M, haverá um Moçambique”, a visual tribute to the stories, faces and landscapes that inspire the Bank's social action.
Sport: building values, Sport: building values, unity and team spirit
In youth sport, the Millennium bim Mini-Basketball Tournament mobilised thousands of children in several provinces, many of them experiencing competition for the first time. More than a tournament, the initiative stands as a space where discipline, inclusion, friendship and team spirit are learnt, contributing to stronger and more cohesive communities.
Christmas of Solidarity: when the country embraces the country
The year ended with the Natal Solidário (Christmas of Solidarity), which brought food, hygiene products and essential goods to more than 30 institutions that care for children, the elderly and the sick, reaching around 1,000 Mozambicans. As always, this initiative relied on the dedication and volunteering of employees from every province. “This year we reinforced our community commitment with projects that have a direct and measurable impact on people's lives. Millennium bim will continue to work with responsibility and closeness, placing the well-being of communities at the centre of its activity. None of this would be possible without the commitment and dedication of our employees, whose volunteering has been decisive in taking these initiatives across the country.” — Rui Pedro, Chairman of the Executive Committee.
Thirty years on, the commitment remains intact: Mozambique first
With these initiatives, Millennium bim consolidates its position as one of the leading agents of social impact in Mozambique, promoting human development through volunteering, strategic partnerships and continued investment in areas essential to the country's progress.
