A statement by the insurance firm named the beneficiaries as
Heritage Homes Orphanage, Lagos, Down Syndrome Foundation, Lagos, the Poorest
of the Poor, Abuja, and Goodness and Passion Orphanage Home, Port Harcourt.
Items donated by the life insurance firm include food,
beverages, toiletries as well as an undisclosed amount of cash to the
beneficiaries.
Most of the items donated to the homes and hospice,
according to the statement, were largely raised through the company’s annual staff
gift drive which is an in-house initiative that encourages members of staff of
the company to donate various items for a common cause. The FBN Insurance staff gift drive was
incepted in 2015.
While appreciating the insurer, on behalf of the Board and Management
of Heritage Homes & Orphanage, the Assistant General Manager of the
orphanage home, Mr. Reuben Amara, thanked the company for its kind donation
towards the upkeep of the children in the Home.
“We appreciate FBN Insurance for always standing by us and
seeing to the needs of the children every year.
“We pray that the Almighty God will reward your labour of
love. We look forward to seeing you again,” he said.
In the same vein, the Educational Therapist, Down Syndrome
Foundation Nigeria, Mr. Innocent Okuru, who received the items on behalf of the
Foundation, also expressed the Foundation’s gratitude for the insurer’s
donation.
In his comment, the Managing Director/Chief Executive
Officer of FBN Insurance Limited, Mr. Val Ojumah, said the company was
delighted to hold the initiative as it is the organisation’s way of
appreciating God’s creation and, at the same time, giving back to the society.
Ojumah reassured the Orphanages and Foundation of the
insurer’s continued commitment to supporting the cause of the organisations in
making society a better place.
“We carry out this initiative on a yearly basis and we hope
to continue to do more,” Ojumah concluded.
