Life Benefit
Jamii Bora Life Benefit is a unique benefit of being a member of Jamii Bora. Members with loans pay 1% of the loan amount for this benefit.
In case of a member’s death or permanent disability, Jamii Bora will pay the outstanding loan balance in full and the next of kin will receive the member’s savings plus an equivalent amount from Jamii Bora. Thus the family will remain with twice the member’s savings and will have no responsibility for the loan. Contribution to the Life Benefit is mandatory for a member with a loan.
Health Benefit
Jamii Bora Health Benefit is another unique member benefit for the entire family. 1,200 Shillings is the fee for a year for one adult and a maximum of four children. If the member wants to pay in installments, she can pay 120 Shillings per month for twelve months or 30 Shillings per week for 50 weeks. The Health Benefit covers all in-patient costs in our partner hospitals, largely mission hospitals. The main hospital used in Nairobi is St Mary’s Mission Hospital in Langata. Jamii Bora presently has over 30 partner hospitals all over the country. The Health benefit covers all in-patient treatment including maternity and HIV and has no upper limit in cost. The Jamii Bora health program has benefited many members and has saved many, many lives. When we save the life of a mother we have saved five to eight children from becoming orphans and street children.
