As part of its 40th anniversary campaign in 2015, Botswana Insurance Company Limited(BIC) hosted a charity day with the children of Cheshire Foundation Botswana (CFB) Mogoditshane Rehabilitation Centre.
On Wednesday February 24, 2016, BIC took its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts a little further and donated bedding to the Foundation. BIC Managing Director, Johann Claasen handed over bedding in the form of sheets, pillows and pillowcases, bath and face towels to the CFB Mogoditshane Rehabilitation Centre. Getrude Lebotse, who is the Head of Finance and Administration received the donations on behalf of the Centre.
“We are delighted by your donations and we really value every donation we get, because it goes a long way in helping us achieve our goal”, she said. The bedding will help in the improvement of boarding facilities for children who are residing in the Centre. Handing over the donation, Claasen, BIC’s Managing Director, highlighted that BIC & its team are honoured to be involved with the Foundation & their vision of providing rehabilitation services to the people of Botswana. “We are humbled by what the CFB does. We hope our donations
will aid in some way and we anticipate to continue working with the Centre in future to assist wherever possible.” Cheshire Foundation of Botswana is a charitable, non governmental organisation established in 1988 to provide comprehensive rehabilitation services to the people of Botswana. The organisation runs a wide range of programmes, which enables it to cover a wide range of disability related issues. This is inclusive of residential and daycare programmes for handicapped children aged between five and 15 years who receive Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy, Special Education and Speech Language therapy.
BIC strongly believes in the betterment of the society and we support projects that are looking into improving the lives of the less fortunate and the disabled.
