Veritas Kapital Assurance (VKA) Plc has reiterated its commitment to the company’s Employee Volunteer Programme (EVP) through impacting less privileged people in the society.
The EVP is a workplace-based initiative where employers provide support for employees to volunteer in the society, even as 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.
Speaking during the programme, the managing director/ CEO 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 at Karamajiji area of the federal capital territory, Abuja, 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,” he stressed.
Also speaking during the programme, 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 succour to the community.
