NamPower empowers Omaheke schools

NamPower has, through its foundation, invested over N$1.2 million in equipment and infrastructural renovations at Motsomi Primary School and C Heuva Secondary School in the Aminius constituency of the Omaheke Region.

The two schools accommodate 671 and 392 learners respectively.

The foundation renovated the laundry room and installed an industrial washing machine and tumble dryer at Motsomi, which accommodates 524 learners in its hostel. Before the investment, laundry at the school was done by hand, an exercise which proved to be physically demanding over the years, given the amount of washing that had to be done.

C Heuva received a refurbished computer laboratory to equip the learners with the necessary computer literacy skills required in today’s digital age.

Speaking during the handover of the facilities, the chairperson of the NamPower Foundation advisory committee, Dr Simeon Amunkete, emphasised the importance of creating a conducive learning environment.

“As we hand over these facilities today, let us remember that it is not just about bricks and mortar, hammer and saw; it is about investing in human potential."

Receiving the donations on behalf of the two schools, Motsomi principal Magreth Gaowetse described the donations as valuable and crucial to the two rural schools.

“The gifts are going to aid with efficiency of doing an excellent job in the future. We are very grateful to NamPower.”
