History of Bank

From 2003 to 2018, the Bank’s Global Community Program Strategy focused on health and education with Seeing is Believing (SiB) as the flagship program to tackle avoidable blindness and visual impairment. In 2018, the Bank achieved its ambitious target to raise USD100 million globally for SiB two years ahead of schedule. In Nepal, we continue to support all existing SiB commitments until 31 December 2020.

In May 2019, the Bank’s new Global Community Program Strategy “Futuremakers by Standard Chartered” was launched in Nepal subsequent to the global launch in January 2019. This initiative focuses on empowering the next generation to learn, earn and grow. There are three pillars to the strategy: education, employability, and entrepreneurship. It builds on the success of our current community programs while growing our ambition to ensure that we are reaching more young people across our markets. The Bank is also actively engaged with the communities in raising awareness around Financial Literacy, Environment, Health and Education.
