FNB Namibia gave 800 mosquito nets worth N$300,000 to help the Zambezi region fight malaria. The area has struggled with a serious outbreak since January that infected over 17,000 people and killed 16. More than 700 residents needed hospital care during this health crisis.

Regional governor Lawrence Sampofu accepted the donation Friday at Katima Mulilo. He mentioned new cases have dropped slightly to about 1,600 this week. He thanked FNB for backing their battle against the disease. He urged people receiving nets to care for them properly and avoid using them as fishing gear.

FNB regional branch manager Richie Howaeb stressed these numbers represent real lives and families affected. He called the situation serious and said the health department needs help from everyone. He explained the outbreak harmed many people and sadly took lives.

Health and community support remain core values for FNB Namibia. The bank sees these areas as its main focus through its FirstRand Namibia Foundation. It feels especially driven to step up when local communities face hard times.
