NAGICO donates EC$75, 000 in relief funds

NAGICOLogoFilePhotoNAGICO Insurances has donated $75 000 to the Dominica Social Welfare Committee to assist relief efforts following the catastrophic passing of Tropical Storm Erika last week, which left over 30 people  dead, several injured and scores of families homeless.

Junior Marketing Manager of NAGICO, Lisa Brown-McKay announced that the company will donate funds will go directly to the victims as they will be in the form of vouchers. This is being organised and coordinated in collaboration with the Welfare Department.

“We have partnered with a few supermarkets and department stores which will allow persons with a NAGICO voucher to come in and get items at no charge to them, based on the limit on the voucher,” she said.

The monies will be distributed in the form of vouchers which will be distributed by the Social Welfare Committee and can be used at select supermarkets and department stores to be advised by the department.

    That’s great news. All relief efforts and funds should be donated to NGO’s this would eliminate possible political agendas and both justifiable and unjustifiable criticisms.
