FIDELITY BANK EXTENDS FOOD SUPPORT TO OVER 1,500 RESIDENTS IN KANO THROUGH FOOD BANK INITIATIVE

Over 1,500 residents of the Kabuga community in Dala Local Government Area, Kano State, have benefited from the Fidelity Food Bank Initiative, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program by Fidelity Bank Plc. The initiative, carried out in partnership with Misnoory Foundation, provided essential food items to support vulnerable individuals during the holy month of Ramadan.

Speaking on the outreach, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head, Brands and Communications at Fidelity Bank Plc, reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to social welfare and community support. “Social responsibility is at the heart of who we are as a bank. Our Fidelity Food Bank Initiative is one of the ways we drive social welfare in our host communities. The initiative was launched to support the vulnerable and alleviate the impact of hunger in society, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger).

“Since April 2023, we have distributed over 150,000 food packs at similar outreach events across Nigeria. Our Kabuga outreach is specifically designed to support women, widows, children, and other vulnerable groups during Ramadan.”

Founder of Misnoory Foundation, Maryam Isa Inuwa, commended Fidelity Bank for its sustained partnership in humanitarian and poverty alleviation efforts. “Fidelity Bank is one of the major sponsors of our humanitarian outreaches to the needy. Their commitment to supporting vulnerable communities aligns perfectly with our mission. We are delighted to count on the bank as a long-standing partner and look forward to impacting more lives together.”

The Fidelity Food Bank Initiative is part of the bank’s broader CSR strategy to combat food insecurity and provide relief to disadvantaged communities. Through strategic partnerships and direct outreach, the initiative continues to deliver tangible impact across Nigeria.
