“Today’s event holds special significance for us, as after having been welcomed by the national community 3.5 years ago, we continue to see great progress in our business operations and our social outreach programme” says Managing Director, Sean Husain, during the official launch of Republic Bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme ‘The Power to Make a Difference’ for 2018-2019.

On January 24 last, the official commissioning took place of the five 'new playpens' on the Children's Ward of the Diakonessen Hospital Paramaribo. As part of Republic Bank's social-welfare program The Power to Make a Difference, the renovation and upgrading of these five rooms (called ‘playpens’) started in 2016.
