KCB Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting education institutions across Kenya with tailored financial solutions designed to strengthen their capacity to serve schools, learners and communities.
The bank’s support was discussed during the Kenya Comprehensive Schools Headteachers Association (KECSHA) conference, taking place at Sheikh Zayed Hall in Mombasa County.
The week-long event, held under the theme “Reimagining Kenya’s School of the Future for National Development,” has brought together school heads, policymakers, education experts and partners to discuss the future of basic education in Kenya.
Speaking at the conference, KCB Coast Regional Business Manager Yasir Jamal said the bank remained committed to the education sector through its Learning Institutions and Value Chain Banking proposition. The proposition offers tailored solutions for institutions’ operational, infrastructure, staff and student needs.
“We recognise that strong education systems require financially resilient institutions. Through our proposition, we are supporting learning institutions in several ways, including promoting sustainability through clean energy initiatives, investing in learners and education quality through scholarships, and strengthening schools’ financial and operational capacity. This includes providing affordable institutional banking solutions, efficient school fee collection platforms, as well as mortgage and infrastructure financing to help institutions meet their evolving needs,” Jamal said.
KCB said it would continue working with education stakeholders to strengthen the sector’s financial foundations, support institutional growth and help build an education system that delivers lasting value for schools, learners and communities.
