CDH Investment Bank participated in the Bankers’ Association of Malawi (BAM) 60 minutes with a banker financial literacy campaign. The bank encouraged students to work hard and grow an interest in matters concerning finance for the benefit of the economy. 

CDH Investment Bank interacted with students from Ndirande Hill Secondary School on Friday 5th May 2023 where they held a motivation talk and created awareness on the need for the youth to adopt a saving culture. 

The Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kwame Ahadzi, led the motivation talk and encouraged the students to work hard to achieve their dreams citing “anything is possible with a clear vison and hard work”. He also urged the students to embrace their humble beginnings which if well applied inculcate hard work as they did for his life. 

The motivation talk was attended by select teachers and students from forms 1-3 only with form 4 students absent as they were sitting for mock examinations. During the motivational talk, CDHIB’s Innovations and Projects Manager, Mr Noel Chowawa made a presentation on the role of banks in the economy, the types of banks, investment banking and commercial banking solutions, CDHIB smart saver account and highlighted the benefits of embracing digital banking and a savings culture. 

Following the presentation and talk, the students participated in a question and answer session and students who answered questions were gifted with CDHIB goody-bags. The students were delighted with the visit from CDHIB and grateful that the talk gave them insights into savings, financial literacy and the career steps to undertake after high school to become bankers based on the courses that were already planning to pursue.

The CDH Investment Bank team thanked the Headmaster and Deputy Headmasters for the hospitality and opportunity to engage with the students and teachers.
