Sanlam has launched its “Extra Roadshow” setting the stage for an extensive stakeholder engagement campaign.
The roadshow will traverse key towns including Walvis Bay, Luderitz, and Omuthiya, aiming to educate and engage the public on the financial solutions provided by Sanlam, with a particular emphasis on the newly enhanced benefits of the Sanlam Extra Rewards programme.
This initiative represents a strategic relaunch of the Sanlam Extra Rewards programme, tailored specifically for Prestige Funeral Cover clients. Maintaining an up-to-date premium status allows clients access to a suite of additional benefits. These include flexible payment breaks, and a variety of vouchers for meals, stationery, school uniforms, groceries, and clothing. The programme also provides tele-doctor consultations, 24/7 health advice, emergency medical services, and discounted funeral services among other perks.
During the launch event, Tertius Stears, CEO of Sanlam, underscored the company’s dedication to improving the welfare of Namibians through robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. “Our commitment extends beyond financial solutions,” Stears said. “We are actively engaging in areas critical to societal advancement including education and training, empowerment and entrepreneurship development, as well as health, welfare, sports development, and cultural initiatives.”
Stears highlighted Sanlam’s impactful contributions across these sectors: supporting over 60 students with more than N$5 million invested in education; annually allocating N$750,000 to sports development through the Sanlam Coastal Marathon; and bolstering over 30 SMEs with an investment exceeding N$7.5 million in entrepreneurial development.
The Sanlam Extra Roadshow is a pivotal part of the company’s strategy to connect with communities and empower them with essential financial tools and resources, aimed at fostering sustainable growth and prosperity throughout Namibia.
