Southern Cross Assurance Limited donated K3,000 cash to Popo Primary School in Gulf Province. The funds will be used to purchase remaining building materials required to complete the renovation of the staff houses at the school.
Popo Primary School Head Teacher Mr. Weka Leapo thanked SCAL for their timely support as the project is needed to be completed as soon as possible and ready for the 2025 academic year. This will certainly boost the morale of the teachers to remain committed and continue to consistently deliver classes for the students in 2025 and years ahead. “On behalf of the school and board, we are very thankful to SCAL for stepping in and also, they are the first private organization that has come to support our school” Mr. Leapo added.
SCAL’s Chief Underwriting Officer, Mr. Uari Oaveta is a success story of Popo Primary School. He is part of the pioneering group of students that attended the school when it first opened in 1964. Through his professional career spanning over 20 years, he has maintained his close connection with the school and commits time to assist the school for various requirements or projects.
“I was elected as the school’s patron this year, so I am just trying to do as much as I can by giving back to the school.” said Mr. Oaveta.
SCAL is proud of its home-grown roots and has a commitment to support worthy causes that make a genuine impact and create tangible benefits in our local communities.
