Star Assurance Limited has partnered with HOPE for Little Lives, an NGO, to provide vital healthcare, education, and support to hundreds of children and families in Sekyere Kumawu as part of its 40th anniversary.
Volunteer surgeons from HOPE for Little Lives performed an impressive 40 free pediatric surgeries at the Sekyere Kumawu District Hospital, providing life-changing medical interventions for children in the Region.
This is a significant demonstration of its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which brought vital healthcare and support to the community.
Founder and Executive Director of HOPE for Little Lives, Dr. Maame Tekyiwa Botchway, noted that the surgeries performed over the three days involved different pathologies.
She added that it is the NGO’s dream to see all children live free and happy lives, free from illness.
“We operated on 20 children, with two different conditions, some had umbilical hernia, Inguinal hernia. The next day, we continued with the operations where we operated on 16 children with different pathologies, some also had more than one pathology, with others having their operations on the final day”, she said.
Beyond surgical care, the outreach provided comprehensive support to hundreds of children. A total of 700 children underwent health screenings, and 380 children received deworming medication.
To further support the well-being of the community’s youth, 700 clothing items and a substantial 1,800 packs of food, drinks, and snacks were distributed to the children who attended the final event.
Extending its impact beyond immediate medical needs, Star Assurance also donated 400 personal grooming kits to students of Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School, promoting hygiene and self-care among the youth.
Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Star Assurance Limited, Justice Frank Offei, speaking at the three-day event reiterated the Company’s commitment to impact lives.
“We are here to join HOPE for Little Lives on their Easter outreach. Today we are having an Easter party with the kids and we are here to make a big impact at Kumawu and serve the community,” he emphasised.
This impactful initiative underscores Star Assurance’s deep-rooted commitment to supporting HOPE for Little Lives.
The insurance company has been a dedicated partner of the NGO for the past three years and formalised its commitment through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
A unique aspect of this partnership sees Star Assurance setting aside GH₵5 from every Star Motor Third Party Xtra policy sold, directly contributing to the vital outreaches and activities undertaken by HOPE for Little Lives.
The successful completion of this major CSR activity marks a significant milestone in Star Assurance’s 40th-anniversary celebrations, highlighting the company’s dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of Ghanaians and reinforcing its role as a socially responsible corporate citizen.
A joyful parent of one of the children who underwent surgery expressed deep gratitude to Star Assurance and their partner, HOPE for Little Lives, for coming to their aid.
