MauBank has formalised its partnerships with eight nongovernmental organisations for the implementation of a total of 12 projects addressing identified needs across education, medical assistance, social inclusion, community support and environmental sustainability in Mauritius and Rodrigues.
At the heart of these partnerships are needs that have a direct bearing on everyday life: whether a child with a disability has the right environment and support to develop greater independence; whether a child in residential care can get to school reliably; whether specialist treatment is within reach when it is needed; or whether an organisation supporting people in vulnerable situations has the resources to keep an essential service running. The projects supported by MauBank respond to these realities through practical interventions, implemented with organisations whose work keeps them closely connected to the communities and needs they
serve.
The partnership agreements were signed at MauBank’s premises in Ebène on Thursday 20 August 2026, in the presence of members of the Bank’s Board and leadership team and representatives of the eight partner organisations. During the 2025/2026 financial year, MauBank has allocated MUR 5.5 million to the projects. Its partners are the Association of Disability Service Providers (ADSP), Trevor Huddleston Association in Rodrigues, World Light Kids Villa, Rotary Club of Bagatelle, PAWS Mauritius, We Recycle, Association Rays of Hope and Prévention Information Lutte contre le SIDA (PILS).
Issa Soormally, Officer in Charge of MauBank, added:
“Our 5Cs being Customer, Company, Colleagues, Community, and Control, are the core values that guide how MauBank conducts its business, and Community has an important place within that framework. It recognises that the Bank operates as part of a wider social and economic ecosystem, and that with this comes a responsibility to contribute beyond our immediate business activities. These partnerships are a practical expression of that responsibility, directing support towards organisations responding to specific needs across Mauritius and Rodrigues. For us, the measure of our values is ultimately in how consistently they are reflected in the decisions we take as an institution.”
