DUSHANBE, October 14, 2013, Asia-Plus – On the occasion of Idi Qurbon, which is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide, Tajikistan’s savings bank, Amonatbonk, has provided humanitarian aid to boarding school # 1 located in the Roudaki district.

According to the Amonatbonk press center, representatives of Amonatbonk handed over some 7,500 somoni worth of food products to the boarding school on October 14.

The bank has reportedly provided regular assistance to boarding school # 1 in the Roudaki district since August 1, 2007.

The Roudaki-based boarding school # 1 is now home for more than 1,370 children from vulnerable families.

Over the past nine months of this year, Amonatbonk has reportedly provided 66,000 somoni worth of assistance to the boarding school in Roudaki.

Amonatbonk is the only state-owned bank.  It is one of the oldest in Tajikistan (established in 1925) and one of the largest based upon various criteria - including the number of branches and the number of served clients.  The institution is unique in its orientation towards implementing social, pension and other state programs.  Amonatbonk has 5 regional centers, more than 70 branches and nearly 500 agencies. This gives the institution a presence in the most remote mountainous parts of the country.
