NCBA Bank has shown its commitment to inclusive and sustainable community development once again after donating a vehicle to Tumaini St. Thorlak Autism Centre in Nanyuki, a gesture that will facilitate access to care for children with autism and their families.
The vehicle was handed over by the NCBA Group Managing Director, Mr John Gachora, to the Archbishop of Nyeri, Rev. Anthony Muheria, on December 26, 2025. The Archbishop received the vehicle on behalf of the centre, which operates under his Archdiocese.

The donation is instrumental in facilitating the daily transportation of children and caregivers to and from the centre. Thus, access to essential services will be greatly improved.
