RisCura ploughs back
Local financial company, RisCura, plans to deepen its corporate social responsibility footprint in the coming year, after extending a helping hand to several charitable causes across the country this year.
Their commitment to support government's call to assist the needy and vulnerable in society comes amid challenges brought about by an economy that has been performing below expectation.
But the prevailing tough economic conditions have not deterred RisCura from lightening the burden of the neediest in society.
Over the past 12 months, RisCura invested N$147 000 in local communities through their corporate social investment programme.
The last in a series of social responsibility initiatives took place last week when RisCura joined efforts by the Office of the Vice-President to improve the living conditions of the San community at Omundaungilo village in the Ohangwena Region. This village is inhabited by over 200 San.
The Office of the Vice-President handed over houses constructed with corrugated sheets to 29 families, while RisCura donated 60 high-dense and robust mattresses to these families. Every family that is headed by a vulnerable elder, and where there are minor children, received two mattresses.
Loth Angula, the director of RisCura, said: “The elderly are often the most vulnerable people in any community, as they have the least means to provide and take care of themselves, and we are hopeful that this donation will help, even in some small way, to make day-to-day living easier for them.”
