Celebrating Motherhood: I&M Bank Unveils a Dedicated Mother’s Room

In honour of motherhood and the indispensable role women play in society, I&M Bank is proud to announce the launch of a dedicated Mother’s Room—a serene, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed space created to support mothers within the bank.

Located at our head office, the Mother’s Room is specifically tailored for breastfeeding and working mothers, offering a private, hygienic, and restful environment where they can nurse, express milk, or simply take a quiet break. This initiative underscores our commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and family-friendly workplace.

“This room is more than just a facility—it’s a symbol of respect, care, and support for mothers. Working mothers often shoulder a dual responsibility—excelling at work while nurturing their families,” said Erica Mboya, Head of Human Resources at I&M Bank.

Launched during Mother’s Day week, this initiative is part of a broader effort by the Bank to create compassionate spaces and supportive services. It reflects our belief that nurturing people goes beyond financial growth—it extends to caring for the families behind our workforce.

Ndeshi Rajabu, a new mother and I&M Bank employee, shared her thoughts:
“As a new mom, returning to work brought several challenges—especially finding a safe, private place to breastfeed or rest. The Mother’s Room has made a world of difference. It shows the Bank values us not just as professionals, but as parents with real-life responsibilities.”

With this step, I&M Bank joins the ranks of forward-thinking organizations embracing motherhood in meaningful, empowering ways—demonstrating that even small, thoughtful changes can make a big difference.
