Implemented by the company since 2008, the social project "Gift to a Child" aims to attract charity funds to accumulative life insurance to the benefit of orphan children and children without parental charge.

In December, Allianz ROSNO Life’s special projects division in Ryazan concluded a 5-year contract with the annual contribution of 50,000 roubles for the benefit of a foster child of the Sheremetyevo-Pesochinsky Orphan Sanatorium. Upon expiry of the program, the child will receive the accumulated amount of 252,000 roubles, constituting his or her starting capital, providing a springboard to the adult life.

This contract is sponsored by Donpromagro Ltd., a large Rostov-on-Don company actively participating in charitable and social projects implemented in the Rostov Region.

Overall, in 2008 and 2009, about 100 children received accumulative life insurance policies under the project "Gift to a Child". In May 2009, the project "Gift to a Child" was awarded with Russia’s sole national insurance premium "Golden Salamander" in the nomination "Social Project of the Year 2008".

"The outgoing year 2009 has become the year of formation and active federal expansion of Allianz ROSNO Life’s social project "Gift to a Child". We are pleased that the current project facilitates creating conditions for self-actualization, professional and civil development of the increasing number of children in different Russian cities. In 2010, we are planning not only to achieve a significant increase in the number of contracts concluded under this social program and in the number of new benefactors, but also to develop cooperation with major Russian funds. Already now, Allianz ROSNO Life is developing a special methodology for the most efficient protection of rights of vulnerable categories of children under this social project, using the experience gained by the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), comments Ms. Zinaida Myakina, Deputy CEO of Allianz ROSNO Life.
