Rokel Commercial Bank (RCBank) has once again demonstrated its strong commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility with a generous donation of food items to both Muslims and Christians in Freetown.
The donation, made in Central Freetown, was aimed at supporting the Muslim community observing Ramadan and the Christian community observing the Lent season. It was warmly received by residents of Government Wharf and surrounding areas, reflecting the Bank’s dedication to the well-being of not just its customers but also the broader community.
As the afternoon sun dipped towards the Atlantic Ocean, members of the Government Wharf community eagerly gathered in anticipation of the representatives from Rokel Commercial Bank, led by the Bank’s Head of Marketing, Mariama Francess Jajua.
In her brief statement, Mariama Francess Jajua emphasized the Bank’s ongoing commitment to giving back to society. “We are here because we believe in giving back to society,” she said. “These donations, we hope, will strengthen the bond between us, as a bank, and you, the people of our community.”

That’s why we’ve always adopted policies that ensure a balance between achieving our profit-making goals, protecting the environment, and promoting the well-being of our people,” he explained.
Community stakeholders also expressed their gratitude.
