About Insurfeel Initiative

Insurfeel is an initiative that enables the uninformed and uninsured to experience impacts of insurance by receiving insurance policies for free through donations by individuals; groups; associations; organisations and government.

*Insurfeel Initiative entails donation of insurance policies to the uninsured, uninformed and evolved from a research conducted which showed that people who have had positive experience on how insurance works seem to believe and easily embraced the system.

This research, therefore, necessitates the need to extend insurance experience through donation of policies to more people so as to deepen insurance penetration, provide safety; fight poverty, and enhance the insurance industry’s profitability.

*Insurfeel is targeted towards specific individuals, such as students in secondary schools, teachers, and people with distinct impact on lives and the society. They are selected due to their outstanding performance and contributions to human growth.

*Insurfeel initiative is opened to people committed to philanthropy. Through Insurfeel, organisations can by means of Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) donate insurance policies as souvenirs and gifts to deserving members of the public.

*Insurfeel Initiative provides a platform for insurance companies to donate their products as against the present trend where products from other sectors are donated to the public.

This will grow the industry’s premium whilst helping humanity.
