We welcome and urge you to Join and Support Your Association Welfare Arm shall consist of the Welfare Emergency Fund and the Social Events and Activities Element. To participate and benefit from the Welfare Emergency Fund Members shall pay a monthly subscription as defined in the Constitution and stipulated in bylaws, currently at KES 1000. Details on payout amount will depend on the total number of members, whether the disbursement is made through a Group Insurance Policy obtained for members from the monthly subscriptions, or if it is made directly from the Fund’s cash pool. The Interim Committee is researching the Group Insurance Policy Option as the most sustainable approach. Analysis from current data indicates that a minimum monthly subscription of KES1000 per member would obtain a modest Insurance Coverage to uniformly cover members’ Final Expenses and Burial Costs in the event of a death. This is based on the recent life events within our Alumni Community such as Deaths and Illnesses, Current Final Benefits Insurance Costs, and Current Burial Costs paid directly by families. Members who opt out of the Welfare Emergency Fund will not be required to pay monthly subscriptions toward the fund and will not receive any benefits from it.
