AXCEL Finance is matching words with actions by embarking on several initiatives aimed at empowering young people through education and the society at large through its development activities.
This week, hundreds of school children from Vieux Fort, where Axcel Finance opened its second branch last year, returned to the classroom with brand new school bags and essentials, thanks to the company.
Country Manager of Axcel Finance Mrs.HerminaDanzie-Vitalis made the timely contribution to the Vieux Fort- South parliamentary representative, Prime Minister Dr. Hon. Kenny Anthony.
She expressed Axcel Finance’s pleasure in providing school bags, schoolbook covers and pens to the children of the community of Vieux Fort. “We are well aware that some families may have more than one school child and the cost of providing school essentials at this time is indeed high. It is on this very basis that Axcel Finance impact on lives in meaningful ways, with education being at the centerfold of our corporate social responsibility,” she said.
Dr. Anthony expressed pleasure at receiving the materials and said he was also pleased that Axcel Finance had grown to be “solid partners” in the development of Saint Lucia and was making vital difference to the people of this country.”
The Prime Minister noted that Axcel Finance was not just about making loans available. “They are reaching out to the community and this is a magnificent way to reach out, to make lives a little bit more pleasant for our children and for the parents,” he added.
