At least twelve pensioners benefited from the donation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just a small token that we hope will benefit the beneficiaries. We pray that all those who are feeling unwell a speedy recovery,\u201d MD Tambedou said.<\/p>\n<p>Fabuka Njaay, director of corporate affairs at SSHFC, said the donation is part of SSHFC\u2019s corporate social responsibility policy to support charitable initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOffering value for members is central to the corporation\u2019s strategic objectives. For example, in January of this year, the corporation increased monthly pensions resulting in over 90% of pensioners having their monthly pensions increased by 65%. To attain this, the corporation had to increase total annual pensions disbursement from D88 million to D128 million or by 69%,\u201d Njaay said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the corporation is committed to continue supporting stakeholders and community led initiatives. \u201cThe Corporation also has adopted a ward in all the major hospitals across the country and we have over the years supported the health sector by donating various equipment to these hospitals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Njaay added, the corporation donated D1.7 million worth of equipment to Ndemban Clinic. \u201cThe Corporation wishes to assure all pensioners that with the support of the SSHFC Board, our strategic priorities are aligned with the needs and requirements of all members,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Representative of SSHFC Board, Alhage Alieu Faal, expressed gratitude to the corporation for coming up with the idea of supporting the bedridden pensioners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate this donation because it has come at the right time. But this is not a surprise to us because during the beginning of Covid-19 they gave us bonuses and later increased our pensions allowance which significantly increased our purchasing powers. I just want to assure you that we will continue standing by SSHFC,\u201d Faal said. Alfusainey Mendy, a pensioner and member of the pension committee, said the donation is unprecedented in the history of SSHFC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
