Handing over the cheque to Hospice's chairperson Dr. Ekiria Kikule at their offices in Kampala recently, the bank's managing director, Nicky Mbuvi said, "We support the fight against HIV/AIDS within the communities we operate."
Mbuvi said they support their employees regardless of their HIV status.
"We have implemented a non-discriminatory HIV/AIDS workplace policy," Mbuvi said.
He said they had realised the impact of HIV/AIDS programmes and would actively support them.
Hospice is an HIV/ AIDS organisation in Makindye, Kampala which provides palliative care.
The function was punctuated by the lighting of candles in memory of those who have died due to AIDS.
