Kina Bank has strengthened its commitment to community development and rehabilitation through a donation to Bomana Correctional Service under its Strongim Komuniti Grant program.
The bank officially handed over seven grass cutters and a lawn mower on Monday, April 27, 2026, to support the maintenance and cleanliness of the correctional facility and its surrounding environment.
The equipment was received by Chief Superintendent and Commanding Officer of Bomana Correctional Service, Yelly Oiufa, who welcomed the support and described it as both timely and impactful.
“We are very grateful to Kina Bank for this donation. We were surprised to receive more than two grass cutters along with the lawn mower, which was beyond our expectations,” Chief Superintendent Oiufa said.
“These tools will greatly assist us in maintaining the cleanliness of the prison and its surrounding environment, while also engaging inmates in productive activities.”
The donation was facilitated through Kina Bank Compliance Risk Officer Leonie Gesa, a recipient of the Strongim Komuniti Grant who identified the need through her direct connection to the Bomana community.
“Living in the community allowed me to see the real need at Bomana Correctional Service,” Ms. Gesa said.
“Through the SKG program, I wanted to give back in a small but practical way that supports both the facility and the inmates who use and maintain the grounds every day.”
The donated equipment will be used to improve general maintenance across the correctional facility, contributing to a cleaner, safer and more structured environment for staff, inmates and the surrounding community.
The Strongim Komuniti Grant program, introduced in 2023, empowers Kina Bank employees to lead grassroots community projects and deliver practical support to the communities in which they live and work.
