Britam urges Rotarians to safeguard their children’s education
By Britam
As a parent, you always want the best education for your child to secure their future. But education can be long and expensive, costing at least KES 3 million and taking 17 years to put the average child through Kenya’s schooling system.
That’s why you need a reliable partner to safeguard your child’s dreams and aspirations. Britam has over 50 years of experience providing education savings solutions designed to help you plan for your child’s future education needs.
What is an education insurance policy?
It’s a policy that helps you save for your child’s education and ensures they’re covered even if you’re not there.
By investing a small amount of money regularly, you can accumulate a significant sum for your child’s education and protect your child’s education against unexpected events in life.
Factors to consider when getting an education policy
- The projected future cost of your child’s education.
- Your child’s age and the time you have
- How much you can afford to put aside
- The best type of insurance that suits your needs
