MWAMBA MUSAMBO DONATES K20,000 TOWARDS THE AWANACHI PADS AND PANTIES CAMPAIGN UNDER THE FNB STAFF VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
Lusaka, June 26, 2025.

The AWANACHI Foundation proudly announces a generous donation of K20,000 from Mrs. Mwamba Musambo Head of retail banking at FNB under the staff volunteer program supported by FNB Foundation to support its Pads and Panties Donation Campaign, an initiative dedicated to promoting menstrual health and ending period poverty among girls in rural Zambia.

This significant donation was made possible through the FNB Staff Volunteer Programme, which encourages employees to support causes they care about.

Under the program, any amount raised by a staff member is matched by the FNB Program under the Foundation, effectively doubling the impact. In this case, Mrs. Mwamba Musambo, Head of Retail at FNB, led a personal fundraising effort that raised K10,000, which the FNB Foundation then matched, resulting in a total contribution of K20,000.

Mrs. Musambo expressed her appreciation for the programme and the opportunity to impact lives.

“Having an employer who believes in your passion and helps make it a reality changes everything. Everyone should get involved because collective action drives real and lasting impact.

Mrs. Mpunga Chipepo Simukwai, Founder of the AWANACHI Foundation, extended her heartfelt gratitude to Mrs Musambo and the FNB Foundation.

“This donation is more than just a contribution; it is a gift of dignity to girls in need. That lies at the heart of what AWANACHI stands for. The spirit of partnership especially moves us and the belief that no girl should be held back because of her period.”

The AWANACHI Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that every girl in rural Zambia does not miss school due to a lack of access to menstrual products.

In May of this year, the AWANACHI Foundation donated reusable pads and panties to 2500 girls across six schools in the Kafue district.
