Namib Mills donates solar lamps
Namib Mills donated 300 solar lamps to pupils at Fidel Castro Primary School as part of their Edu-Light programme.
The company continues to support Namibian children to reach their full academic potential.
The latest donation was handed over on 31 March.
The programme was launched in 2015 and is part of Namib Mills Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to give back to the community in education, community upliftment and poverty alleviation.
More than 210 portable solar lights were also given to Tobias Hainyeko School learners at Babylon informal settlement which is on the outskirts of Windhoek in 2016.
Edu-Light is an initiative that provides solar lights to leaners and students living in informal settlements and rural areas and who do not have access to electricity and use paraffin and candles to study.
Ashante Manetti, the spokesperson for Namib Mills said the programme's objective is to assist learners to study for longer durations at night in order improve their performance.
“The Sun King Eco light is an award-winning solar light.
“It is two times brighter than a paraffin lamp, offers adjustable brightness settings and after charging it during the day, it shines for four hours in its brightest mode or for over thirty hours on its lowest setting,” said Manetti.
Namib Mills is a committed corporate citizen and has undertaken this project in partnership with Greenville Solutions in a bid to tackle poverty alleviation and community upliftment.
In total, the company has donated over 800 solar lamps to learners in Windhoek.
