As part of the celebrations of World Blood Donor Day, observed on June 14, the IX Edition of the iib Blood Donation Campaign took place today at iib’s headquarters, reinforcing our commitment to social responsibility, solidarity, and the promotion of life.
This initiative brought together employees, partners, and volunteers around a noble cause, helping to strengthen blood reserves and support the important work carried out by the Blood Bank of the Agostinho Neto University Hospital (HUAN).
A very special thank you to:
- iib employees, for their participation and spirit of solidarity;
- The HUAN team, for their professionalism, availability, and dedication;
- All donors who answered the call and contributed to the success of this campaign.
Every donation represents an opportunity to save lives and bring hope to those who need it most. Through simple yet invaluable acts of generosity, we continue to help build a more caring and compassionate society.
Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we continue to make a difference!
iib, Your Bank, Your Future!
Speaking at the occasion, Sohail Sultan, Chairman iibGroup, said, ‘At iib, we believe that education is one of the most powerful tools for the development of societies. Partnering with the Chevening Scholarship allows us to invest in the next generation of leaders who will not only uplift Cabo Verde but also strengthen global ties through knowledge and collaboration. We are honoured to formalize this commitment today, in partnership with the British government, and look forward to the impact this initiative will have.”
Also at the ceremony, Lisa Bandari, stated, ‘“Chevening is more than a scholarship – it is a life-changing experience, which opens doors to world-class universities, cultural diversity, and a network of 60,000 alumni worldwide. We are delighted to welcome iibGroup as a partner in this important initiative. Their commitment to supporting talent in Cape Verde reflects a shared belief that education is a driving force for global progress.”
Chevening is the UK government’s scholarship program, through which scholarships are awarded to people with a solid academic background who demonstrate leadership potential. It offers financial support to study at a UK university and the opportunity to join an influential global network of over 50,000 alumni in more than 160 countries and territories.
In addition to financial support, iibGroup will mentor and promote the selected students, integrating them into the Group’s various initiatives. iibGroup continues to strengthen its role as a catalyst for progress, reaffirming its commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders and promoting innovation for a more sustainable future. Applications for the Chevening scholarship for Cape Verde are currently being considered.
