Sanlam, a  leading  financial  services group, is proud to announce its collaboration with the Rob Youth Foundation in support of Engela State Hospital’s maternity ward and waiting shelter. 

The partnership aims to address the challenges faced by the hospital and make a meaningful impact on the lives of mothers and their newborns.

The handover ceremony, held on 4 August 2023, was a moment of great significance for the community.

The initiative aims to provide a secure and comfortable environment for mothers during the birthing process.

“Pregnancy and childbirth are cherished chapters in a woman’s life – and at Sanlam, we take great pride in supporting individuals during their most delicate moments,” said Lukas Tshithigona, Sanlam Ondangwa branch manager.

“Our  donation  of  70  mattresses, valued  at N$28 927 , to the maternity ward, reflects our commitment to ensuring a nurturing and positive experience for mothers as they await delivery and after the birth of their children.”

The collaboration between Sanlam and the Rob Youth Foundation showcases the values cherished by Sanlam – compassion, empathy and dedication to the well-being of communities. Through this donation, the partners hope to create a positive ripple effect that extends beyond the maternity ward, impacting the lives of those in need.

The Rob Youth Foundation, known for its proactive efforts in addressing social and economic challenges, is commended for its role in maintaining conducive health facilities. Their selflessness and generosity play a vital role in brightening the lives of those benefitting from the donation.

Lukas added: “At Sanlam, we firmly believe that small acts of kindness can make a lasting impact on the lives of others. By coming together with the Rob Youth Foundation, we demonstrate the power of unity and compassion in creating a world where care flourishes and makes it a better place for all.”

The  handover ceremony marked a significant step towards fostering a caring community and highlighted the positive change that can be achieved through collective efforts.
