The Social Security and Housing Finance Corporation (SSHFC) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting vulnerable pensioners by providing food aid to bedridden people.
This initiative, valued at over D500,000, delivered essential food items such as rice, sugar, onions, potatoes, cooking oil, and tomato paste to needy pensioners. This donation is part of SSHFC’s ongoing efforts to assist those who have made significant contributions to the nation throughout their active years.
SSHFC Managing Director Saloum Malang emphasized that this initiative has become a cornerstone of the corporation’s mission to bring comfort and joy to bedridden pensioners, ensuring they feel valued and remembered. “This year, I am pleased to announce that we have expanded this program to include bedridden pensioners across the provinces. This marks a significant milestone in our commitment to ensure that no one is left behind, regardless of their location,” he stated.
On behalf of the beneficiaries, Alagie Chox Faal expressed heartfelt gratitude for SSHFC’s continued support and acknowledgment of the contributions made by pensioners. The distribution event occurred at SSHFC’s premises in Banjul and was attended by senior officials and community members. This gesture is aligned with SSHFC’s broader mission to enhance the welfare of its beneficiaries, especially during challenging times.
