This heartwarming initiative is a beacon of warmth and love, reigniting connections and spreading joy throughout The Bahamas. We have embarked on a mission to visit 10 Homes in New Providence, four (4) in Grand Bahama, and 12 other communities in the Family Islands. Our aim - to feed over 1,300 senior citizens this holiday season.

A Heartwarming Programme for Our Beloved Seniors
On this occasion, Senior officials and staff of NIB served a traditional Christmas meal to the residents of the Senior Homes. The programme commenced with joined hands for the blessing of the food followed by sweet sounds of Christmas songs. Our teams fellowshipped with the residents creating moments of joy and connection. Of course, the celebration was not complete without a slice of our special Anniversary cake.

Last year, staff of the National Insurance Board (NIB) embraced the slogan “Excellent Customer Care Starts With ME!” At NIB’s 2010 Leaders Conference, held on Paradise Island in January, Director Algernon Cargill told leaders that the focus of this excellent care must not be limited to the external customer, but should be directed to the internal customers as well. To demonstrate his administration’s commitment to promoting the wellbeing of the internal customer – NIB staff – he announced a number of initiatives, including the establishment of a “Director’s Award” which would annually honor those individuals whose outstanding achievements, dedication, leadership, customer service and expertise would have made a significant impact on the organization and its mission over the previous year.
