Community Involvement
THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE – COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
During this third phase of Power to Make A Difference (2014 – 2018), Republic Bank has, through a pledge of TTD 100 million, re-
intensified the focus on programmes that address poverty alleviation, promote youth development through sport, culture and education,
and create sustainable healthcare solutions for the sick and the elderly. For the financial year 2014/2015, we continued making inroads
in championing literacy through our relationships with the Butler Institute of Learning Literacy (BILL), the Adult Literacy Tutors Association
(ALTA), and The Trinidad and Tobago National Commission for UNESCO. Within the same period, we also successfully built upon existing
relationships with long-standing non-governmental and community-based organisations like The Autistic Society of Trinidad and Tobago,
the Dyslexia Association, and Persons Associated with Visual Impairment (PAVI) to bring about a greater sense of awareness, understanding
and tolerance of various forms of disability.
Going a step further, we re-intensified our commitment to nation-building through long-standing, proven social investment initiatives
like the Republic Bank Agri-Science Programme, the Republic Bank RightStart Republic Cup, Republic Bank RightStart Pan Minors Music
Literacy Programme, the Baal Vikaas Vihaar Festival, and the Republic Bank Junior Parade of the Bands. Our signature volunteerism
movement continued to gain momentum as this year, hundreds of staff members joined forces with NGOs like Habitat for Humanity to
improve the quality of life of people across diverse communities. As we approach the new phase year, we will draw upon the impetus
gained from this year as a source of inspiration to maintain our support and sponsorships. Moreover, we eagerly look forward to the new
relationships that we shall forge in the interest of bringing about a better Trinidad and Tobago.
