Equity Bank has announced a partnership with the Kenya National Drama and Film Festival in a bid to support this year’s event at the national, regional, county, and sub-county levels.
As part of the partnership, Equity Bank has contributed Kshs.25 million for this year’s festival that caters for rewarding outstanding schools and trainers at various competition levels through certificates, trophies, and cash prizes.
The theme for this year’s Kenya National Drama and Film Festival is liberating technology to nurture talent while inculcating value for social prosperity. The national festivals will be held in Nakuru in April. Through the sponsorship, Equity Bank Kenya aims to motivate participants to excel, push their creative boundaries, and raise the bar of artistic expression in Kenya.
Equity Bank Kenya Managing Director, Moses Nyabanda, said, “This moment is a testament to the power of collaboration, creativity, and the immense potential that lies within our young people. At Equity Bank, we believe that education is the cornerstone of societal transformation. Over the years, our commitment to education has been unwavering. We have empowered thousands of students through scholarships, mentorship, and financial inclusion. Today, we extend our partnership further by supporting the Kenya National Drama and Film Festivals, a premier platform that nurtures creativity, talent, and self-expression.”
