Bank donates to cyclone disaster victims

Standard Bank Isle of Man is donating thousands to help victims of a natural disaster in southern Africa.

Cyclone Idai caused devastation in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe earlier this year, killing around 1,000 people and leaving approximately 100,000 at risk of disease.

Standard Bank is pledging £15,000 - raised through fundraising activities and chief executive, Chris Till, hopes the continued contribution will help people rebuild their lives.

The bank has already given financial aid to World Vision International which has been providing food, water, shelter and medical care to civilians impacted.
