Lions Clubs spread holiday cheer in Okombahe
• Creating meaningful change
The three coastal Lions Clubs say they intend to continue reaching out to the remotest corners of Namibia to provide essential support to Namibians in need.
Members of three coastal Lions Clubs travelled over 500 kilometres last Thursday to bring essential supplies, Christmas gifts and festive cheer to the Hada Huigi Day Care Centre in Okombahe.
The initiative was spearheaded and supported by Lions Clubs from zone three, which includes the clubs of Henties Bay, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, and highlighted the organisations’ commitment to improving the lives of Namibians.
The Hada Huigi Day Care Centre provides essential care, shelter and education to children from disadvantaged backgrounds who face significant daily challenges.
The Lions treated the children to a festive meal of hotdogs and cool drinks, creating a celebratory atmosphere. According to Johnathan Wilsnach, president of the Swakopmund Lions Club, the special occasion provided the children an opportunity to bask in the warmth of the festive season.
In addition to festive treats and gifts, the Lions provided the day care with essential supplies, ensuring it can continue its vital role in the community.
The donations included resources to support education and daily care, which are critical for creating a nurturing environment for the children.
Core mission
Wilsnach said such efforts are a core part of the Lions’ mission.
“The Lions Clubs of zone three are committed to uplifting vulnerable communities and providing the support needed to create meaningful change,” he said.
The mission was strengthened by the involvement of African Marketing, who sponsored the transportation of goods.
“John and his team at African Marketing ensured that the supplies and gifts reached Okombahe efficiently, demonstrating how partnerships between businesses and service organisations can amplify positive impacts,” Wilsnach said.
The Lions Clubs of zone three have long prioritised initiatives aimed at supporting underserved communities.
This mission to Okombahe is just one example of their efforts to bring relief and joy to those who need it most.
The clubs say they will continue hosting such initiatives to ensure that their work reaches even the most remote corners of Namibia.
The Lions Clubs urge others to join in their mission of giving back, whether through donations, volunteering or forming partnerships.
