VICTORIA, Seychelles — The Providence Branch Team of Absa Bank Seychelles has launched a meaningful initiative under the bank’s Force for Good programme to honour and support the Seychelles Fire and Rescue Services Agency (SFRSA), recognising the team that stood bravely at the forefront of the December 7 disaster two years ago and continues to protect the Providence community.
As part of the initiative, the Absa Providence Branch Team donated a selection of household appliances to the SFRSA, recognising the demanding nature of their work and the long hours spent at fire stations. The contribution aims to bring added comfort and practical support to officers who often treat these stations as a second home.
Beyond the donation, the Absa team also chose to give back through action. In a gesture of solidarity, colleagues personally rolled up their sleeves to provide cleaning services for the fire trucks, ensuring the vehicles that answer emergency calls across the country are cared for and ready for service. ‘Our firefighters are more than first responders; they are pillars of the community,’ said Marie-Paule Samson, head of marketing and corporate affairs at Absa Bank Seychelles.
