When Akua’s dad, Mr. Ofori, died suddenly, the impact of his passing was just the start of what they would face.

Being the firstborn daughter in a conventional Ghanaian household, Akua understood the significant duty that came next: orchestrating an appropriate funeral to pay tribute to her late father’s legacy.

Still, she was not ready for the emotional and financial burden that accompanied it.

Mr. Ofori had been a cherished member of the community, and his family was set on giving him an impressive send-off.

Nevertheless, lacking substantial savings and without a funeral plan, Akua and her brothers and sisters quickly encountered severe financial pressures. A period meant for mourning became even more challenging due to an overwhelming economic crisis that beset them.

Financial Woes in the Absence of a Life Insurance Policy

Initially, the expenses for embalming and conservation were incurred, succeeded by the never-ending task of organizing the funeral. This involved securing a fitting location, catering for the attendees and visitors, arranging transport, producing invitations, and selecting an adequate casket.

The expected backing from family members soon diminished, forcing Akua to bear the majority of the load herself. Compounding her troubles, she needed to secure loans just to meet the expenses.

Rather than dwelling on their grief, the Ofori family found themselves overwhelmed by monetary troubles. Even several weeks post-funeral, they continued to grapple with repaying debts, leading to rising conflicts between the brothers and sisters.

The relationships grew tense, transforming the funeral into a continuous ordeal instead of a recuperative experience.

Only following the funeral did Akua learn about Hollard Life’s MeBanbɔ Life Insurance Policy when she recounted her experience to a friend.

As her friend laid out the specifics, Akua found herself contemplating how differently things might have turned out if she had covered her father with this insurance policy.

Hollard Ghana’s MeBanbɔ Life Insurance Plan

Hollard Ghana’s MeBanbɔ Life Insurance Policy caters specifically to low to middle-income families such as Akua’s, who frequently find themselves unprepared for funeral costs. This policy helps these families sidestep the significant financial strain typically associated with paying tribute to their departed loved ones.

For just GH¢2 each month, policyholders have access to coverage totaling up to GH¢30,000, based on the specific plan they select.

Once the unavoidable event occurs, MeBanbɔ swiftly disburses payments upon receipt of the required paperwork, enabling families to manage funeral expenses without taking out loans or seeking assistance from others. Not only is MeBanbɔ cost-effective, but it is also conveniently accessible.

You can easily sign up by dialing *269# on either MTN or Telecel, then follow the instructions for a hassle-free registration.

MeBanbɔ could have rewritten their story. Instead of the burden of debt, the family would have been able to mourn their father without undue financial strain, and their stained relations would have remained intact. MeBanbɔ brings a sense of relief, knowing that your family is protected in times of need.
