In recent weeks, Namibia’s only special risks insurer, Namibia Special Risks Association Limited (NASRIA) invested approximately N$160 000 into various Corporate Social Responsibility and Investment (CSR&I) initiatives in various regions in Namibia.
The donations were predominantly in education support, one of NASRIA funding priorities under its CSR&I policy.
These donations included a donation of a fully fledge PA System to Ondjamba Combined School in Onyaanya constituency in Oshikoto Region valued at N$20 000.00; Bags of cement and bricks worth N$50 000.00 to Romanus Kamunoko Secondary School in the Kavango East Region to enable the school to complete the construction of ablution facilities for both learners and visitors; IT equipment to the tune of N$40 000.00 to Daweb Secondary and Klein Aub Primary Schools in Maltahohe in Hardap Region; Stationery to the tune of N$40 000.00 to Chris Lotter and Ariamsvlei Primary Schools in the !Kharas Region and lastly, N$10 000.00 towards the Women and Agriculture Summit to be used for product presentation and dissemination of information about NASRIA and its product offerings.
“Our commitment to seeing the communities around us thrive is a key imperative in our developmental trajectory. We will continue to make donations that also help government in its endeavour to meet some sustainability development goals,” Executive: Marketing, Ndapona Schleberger said.
The donations were laced with meetings with key regional leaders including Governors, Chief Regional Officers and Councillors.
This has been instrumental in appraising the regional leadership on the developments surrounding NASRIA’s incoming new product, Weather Index Based Livestock Insurance (WIBLI).
“Some of the regions we went to donate education related goods are the same regions in which our WIBLI product will be piloted and thus we felt it prudent to appraise leaders in these regions about the envisaged development. We hope that the finer details of the product will be ironed out soon and we will be able to roll-out this much anticipated product soon,” further stated Schleberger.
