FDH Bank has donated a MWK14million house in Nambuma to Marietta Samuel in whose hands were chopped off by her husband in 2006.

Handing over the house last Saturday, Deputy Managing Director for FDH Bank, William Mpinganjira, said that as a homegrown bank, FDH Bank takes keen interest in the welfare of citizens through various initiatives especially in areas of health, education and youth development. “FDH Bank first knew of Marietta Samuel when her husband chopped off her arms after a history of violent abuse in the marriage in 2006. Our Group Chief Executive Officer Dr. Thomson Mpinganjira took interest in her case as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) portfolio and have assisted her in various ways over the past years,” said Mpinganjira.

For completion of the home, FDH Bank partnered with Nile Construction in constructing the house under the CSR. FDH Bank purchased materials worth K10 million while Nile Construction led by Christopher Mnemba, constructed the house with labour worth K4 million, according to Mpinganjira.
