Donation valued at over N$240 000
Ohangwena governor Sebastian Ndeitunga said the donation signifies hope, opportunity and a brighter future for the young learners in his region.
NamWater, through its corporate social investment (CSI) policy and in collaboration with the education ministry donated textbooks valued at N$240 701 to 12 schools in the Ohangwena Region on Wednesday.
The handover ceremony took place at Kaupumhote Nghituwamhata Combined School in the Eenhana circuit.
The recipient schools are Oshamono Combined School, Onanona Combined School, Ndjabeka Primary School, Elakalapwa Combined School, Onamunhama Combined School, Kaupumhote Nghituwamhata Combined School, Lazarus Haufiku Combined School, Oshawapala Combined School, Okahenge Combined School, Ounyenye Combined School, Haihambo Primary School and Amwiimbi Combined School.
NamWater CEO Abraham Nehemia highlighted the corporation’s dedication to empowering communities through educational support.
Nehemia said NamWater has carefully developed a CSI policy underpinned by a dedication to fulfilling their social responsibility objectives.
This policy closely aligns with their overarching strategic plan, reflecting their commitment to supporting Namibia’s development plans, including the Harambee Prosperity Plan II, he said.
“NamWater recognises the vital role we play in supporting our government’s efforts to ensure that all Namibian children have access to quality education. We firmly believe in the transformative power of education and the pivotal role it plays in shaping the future of our society,” Nehemia said.
Gift for the future
Receiving the donations, Ohangwena governor Sebastian Ndeitunga said the gift signifies hope, opportunity and a brighter future for the young learners in his region.
Ndeitunga said while education is the cornerstone of development, he believes that, as leaders, stakeholders and members of the community, they all have a role to play in ensuring that every child receives the best possible start in life.
“These textbooks will go a long way in bridging the gap in educational resources, particularly in rural schools where the need is often greatest. The investment that NamWater has made is not just in books but in the dreams and aspirations of our young learners,” he said.
