The rice farm, largest in the country and part of Export Trading Group (ETG), offered the cards to the orphanage as part of its Easter celebrations while staff donated food stuff. The Company Public Relation Officer, Mr James Mariki, said the insurance cards and food items presented to the orphanage totalled 3.0m\/-.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have visited the centre just to show our love and sympathy to these minors [since] we are much concerned with their wellbeing,\u201d Mr Mariki said during the handover ceremony recently.<\/p>\n

He said the company support is continuous and \u201cthe cards will be timely renewed to make sure the kids are health insured 24\/7.\u201d The Kapunga Rice Project is one of the country\u2019s premier rice farms in Mbarali District, Mbeya.<\/p>\n

The farm is on its way to becoming the highest yielding rice farm in the country. The Orphanage Guardian, Ms Sabina Siwale, said the health insurance cards came in the time of the need and made the Easter celebrations meaningful this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really predicted our needs. However, we call on more stakeholders to support us as we are still in various needs,\u201d Ms Siwale said.<\/p>\n

The Kapunga farm has been also participating in various social activities in Mbarali, including supporting the construction of a health centre by contributing 750m\/-.<\/p>\n
