FROM SKEPTIC TO BELIEVER: RUTH SHARES HOW BSP LIFE CHANGED HER FAMILY’S FUTURE

For PNG Health Support Workers Association (PNGHSWA) member Ruth Kange, joining BSP Life was not just about saving money, but it became a decision she says changed her understanding of financial security and helped support her child’s future.

Sharing before BSP Life representatives and fellow members, Ruth Kange spoke with the confidence of someone whose trust had paid off.

“I am so privileged, and I made a wise decision choosing BSP Life,” she said.

 For Ruth, the survival benefit payouts were more than financial returns because it has become timely support for her family and proof that long-term investment can create real change.

 Ruth first encountered BSP Life’s Wantok Delite cover in 2022 through BSP Life Insurance Advisors in Boroko, Port Moresby.

 At the time, she admitted she did not fully understand the importance of the policy, but she chose to sign up based on trust and belief in its long-term promise.

 “I didn’t fully understand the importance of the Wantok Delite cover at the time, but I agreed to sign up, placing my trust in BSP Life with the belief that this investment would be beneficial long-term,” she shared.

 Three years later, that trust paid off. Ruth received her survival benefit payout under the policy, an experience she described as rewarding and reassuring.

 When the PNGHSWA insurance scheme launched in 2023, Ruth enrolled again under the subsidized policy, contributing around K75 in premiums supported by the Government. Last month, she received her first Survival Benefit payout under the PNGHSWA policy, the timing, she said, could not have been better.

 “The cash returns were timely, and I used them fully for my child’s school fees,” Ruth explained.

 For the Southern Highlands Provincial Health Authority payroll manager, the benefits have become more than personal support. They have also inspired her to encourage fellow health workers to think seriously about long-term financial planning.

 As more members began receiving their survival benefits, Ruth said interest among health workers and doctors continued to grow, with many now recognizing the value of investing in BSP Life products.

 She believes the program provides ordinary Papua New Guineans with an opportunity to secure financial support for their families while preparing for future uncertainties.

 Ruth also reflected on how BSP Life has assisted families during times of loss, saying the payouts have helped provide relief and support to grieving relatives when they needed it most.

 Her growing confidence in the program has led her to actively spread awareness among colleagues and provincial health workers, encouraging them to take advantage of the opportunity.

 For Ruth, the experience has transformed her from a first-time customer into one of the strongest advocates for the scheme.

 Today, Ruth Kange’s story stands as more than a personal testimony.

 It reflects how one decision, made on faith and trust, can create lasting impact for a family’s future.

 From helping pay school fees to encouraging others to invest in long-term security, Ruth now carries a message she hopes more Papua New Guineans will hear.

 Sometimes the smallest step toward saving today can become the biggest protection for tomorrow.
