MultiChoice Namibia gives back to Mariental youth

STAFF REPORTER
MultiChoice Namibia recently donated a DStv subscription and television set to the Takarania Early Childhood Development Centre in Mariental.



The centre, which was officially established in 2022, comprises two classrooms, a kitchen, an ablution facility and a playground that caters to over 80 children and more.



“With this sponsorship, our goal is to contribute to the growth and development of the youth through our educational content and expose young ones to what is happening around our country and beyond our borders,” said MultiChoice Namibia managing director Roger Gertze.



“MultiChoice Namibia is incredibly grateful to be a part of an initiative that is dedicated and committed to fostering the potential of every child – because the youth are the future of Namibia,” Gertze noted.



The sponsorship includes a one-year DStv subscription, a full dish kit set (inclusive of a decoder, dish and cables), a free installation and a television set. Featuring educational programmes such as ‘Learn On One’ on One Africa Television and entertaining channels such as Nickelodeon and Jim Jam for the younger group of children, viewers are guaranteed a world-class viewing experience.



Lisiena Swartbooi, the founder of the centre, expressed her thanks to the MultiChoice Namibia team and emphasised the importance of helping communities.
