Why Ukarimu?
Ukarimu supports your family when you or a loved one passes away by providing funds for the cost of a funeral, burial, and other related unexpected expenses irrespective of where your family member lives. Ukarimu is the way!
The Problem
Most immigrants’ extended family members reside in their countries of origin. Parents, brothers, sisters and even their fully grown children are sometimes left behind and as the primary bread winner, most of these relatives depend on you when death strikes any of them. When this happens, most of these immigrants lack the money to cover burial and travel expenses to these distant lands to lay to rest a beloved family member who has died.
False Security
When confronted with a sudden death in the family, often times, people think their life insurance policy will aid them in burial and bereavement costs. They are often surprised to discover life insurance is not designed to handle these sudden expenses. Once they put in a claim, they realize the process can take months before a check is issued. This often leaves the survivor financially vulnerable for an excruciating amount of time.
The Solution
Ukarimu is about cooperation, unity, support, helping each other when we are most vulnerable, empathy in its purest form and strength in numbers. There's no better feeling than knowing so many people are standing right beside you in that time of need. Once you become an Ukarimu member, together we help each other lift this burden from you. From one another! If this appeals to you, then join us. Together we are strong.
