Sanlam Life Donates To Orphanages

Sanlam Life Insurance Nigeria Limited has recently donated cardigans and cash to five orphanages in Jos, Plateau State as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) projects.

The beneficiary orphanages include: Simji Girl Child Empowerment Initiative Orphanage, Kids with A Vision Foundation Orphanage, Tabitha Evangel Mission International, Abba Father – RICH Orphanage, and Jofin Empowerment Orphanage Home.

While presenting the cardigans and cash to the directors and coordinators of the orphanages, the managing director/CEO, Sanlam Life Insurance Nigeria Limited, Tunde Mimiko, stated that, the initiative was part of the insurer’s commitment to aid a better and confident life for all and generations to come.

Mimiko acknowledged the good work that is being done by the management of the orphanages while reiterating the continued support of Sanlam Life Insurance.

“We appreciate the great work you are doing to support and care for these children, and we express our gratitude by extending our show of love in appreciation with the confidence that these gifts will help in protecting these children from the elements,” Mimiko said, adding that, “at Sanlam Nigeria, one of our major core values is ‘CARE’ and this has been brought to life here in Jos, by the thoughtfulness in presenting these cardigans to the children of the orphanages, to keep them warm when it is unusually cold, as the city of Jos, is famous amongst other things, for its cold weather.”

Speaking on behalf of the 5 orphanages, the executive director, Simji Girl Child Empowerment Initiative Orphanage, Mrs. Simi Simji Goshwe, expressed her profound gratitude to the insurer for its show of love and kind support to the orphanages.

“We are grateful to Sanlam Nigeria for finding us, amongst so many orphanages in Nigeria and most especially the Plateau, worthy of this rare gesture. Our hearts are filled with joy. May God continue to bless and uphold your organisation,” Goshwe submitted.

Recall that earlier in the year, Sanlam Nigeria donated cash to support various activities of the Association for Handicapped Person’s Welfare and the Down Syndrome Foundation Nigeria.
