United General Insurance Company contributed K1.5 million to support 250 students with visual impairments through Hope for the Blind organization. Thokozani, a secondary school student aspiring to become a teacher, represents one beneficiary who previously worried about school fee payments. The Blantyre-based charity assists children and young people with visual disabilities to continue their education. Golden Jamu, UGI's Sales and Marketing Manager, stated the company chose this partnership because education aligns with their corporate responsibility priorities. The insurance firm also focuses on mental health, environmental issues, and governance initiatives.
Hope for the Blind Treasurer Mtisunge Chinguwo expressed appreciation for the financial assistance that protects vulnerable students from dropping out. The funding covers school fees and living expenses for pupils at both secondary and tertiary levels. Among recipients, 190 attend secondary schools while 60 pursue higher education. Most beneficiaries are orphans who depend completely on sponsorship to access learning opportunities. This support eliminates the constant threat of academic interruption due to financial constraints.
