Social Responsability
Barclays Social Responsibility Project is a partnership commitment with the Mozambican community, where we are trying to reduce the impact of the existing big social differences.
Barclays is aware of its immense responsibility towards the community. We cannot be happy by just generating work posts, but we must also collaborate for the community future, by promoting initiatives that stimulate the individual growth of each citizen.
This project started in April 2003 and it still does not have a national dimension, but we are working so that in a short period of time, we can make our actions viable all over the Country.
