The Ghana Insurers Association (GIA) on Wednesday presented school furniture and food items estimated at GH¢95,000 to the Demonstration School for the Deaf at Mampong-Akwapim in the Eastern Region. The items include 20 dual desks, cooking oil, milk, maize, and toiletries. The donation formed part of the corporate social investment of the association and also part of activities to mark this year's insurance industry awareness month. Presenting the items to the school here at the weekend, a member of the Board of the GIA, Mr Henry Bukari, expressed optimism that the items would go a long way to help complement what the government already provided for the school. Mr Bukari who is also the Managing Director of Phoenix Insurance explained that the "GIA found it joyous to show love and care to the poor and vulnerable in society."
He said the GIA's month-long programme insurance campaign was being held under the theme, 'Making Insurance the Ghanaian Way of Life.'
Mr Bukari said the campaign was aimed at increasing the public's understanding of insurance concepts, educating them on how insurance could mitigate the potential risks faced in their personal and professional lives and encouraging the need for financial planning and inclusion.
