Veritas Kapital Employee Volunteer Program Impacts on Karamajiji Community

Veritas Kapital Assurance (VKA) Plc – one of the leading insurance companies in Nigeria recently visited people of determination in Karamajiji, Federal Capital Territory on Saturday,  October 8, 2022 as part of the company’s Employee Volunteer Program (EVP).

Employee Volunteer Program (EVP) is a workplace-based initiative where employers provide support for employees to volunteer in the society (and Veritas Kapital has doubled its effort in supporting its employees in this regard).

The focus of VKA’s Employee Volunteerism this year was recently on blood donation and now, “cook-a-meal” as a way of giving back to society.

Karamajiji is a few kilometers from the city center, Federal Capital Territory and it is home to about 520 people of determination with different disabilities known to most locals as Unguwar Guragu (loosely translated as a community of disabled people).

Speaking during the program, the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of Veritas Kapital Assurance Plc, Mr. Kenneth Egbaran said, EVP is done regularly by the staff of the company to positively impact society. A few months ago, it was a Blood donation drive, and today we (from top management to junior staff), are here participating in the event, cooking, serving, sharing time, and having fun with the community members to express love for the physically challenged in our society.

Also speaking during the program, the Head of Corporate Services, Aisha Garba, who was one of the chefs, said she was super excited and privileged to serve and share in the moments with everyone. Staff members of the company expressed their delight at the opportunity, saying this is something they will keep doing because service to humanity is the best work of life.

The MD/CEO and the management team were part of the waiters and waitresses serving food to the children. The company also donated writing materials, toiletries, footwear, etc to the community.

The Chairman, Ibrahim Sagir spoke on behalf of the community and appreciated Veritas Kapital Assurance Plc for the visit also thanking them for bringing succor to the community. His final words were encouraging the Veritas Kapital Team to keep up the good work.
