The Namibia Special Risks Insurance Association on Tuesday donated farming equipment for the establishment of a greenhouse at farm Nuwehoop worth N.dollars 50 000 to the Office of the Omaheke Region Governor.
NASRIA Executive for Marketing, Communications and Sales, Ndapona Schleberger during the handover at Nuwehoop said the donation is instrumental in creating a sustainable solution that will impact the lives of many people in Omaheke.
She added that the initiative holds promise of not only addressing malnutrition but also paving the way for food sufficiency in the region. She indicated that the association recognises the importance of corporate social responsibility and the role they play in contributing to the wellbeing of the communities in which they operate.
‘It is our firm belief that by investing in initiatives such as the greenhouse project, we can foster positive change and empower communities to thrive. I am filled with hope and optimism as we embark on this journey towards establishing the gre
enhouse at farm Nuwehoop,’ said Schleberger.
Omaheke Governor Pijoo Nganate during the acceptance speech said it is a dream come true and urged more corporate companies to join in making sure that malnutrition is totally eliminated in the region and the whole country.
‘No child in this region or in this country must ever go hungry to bed, let alone dying of hunger. We believe that very soon we will invite you (NASRIA) to come and see what we did with your donation, we are optimistic and we are planting a seed,’ Nganate said.
He also said his office is busy soliciting other means to ensure that young who will be working on this project are well trained and ready to execute their task as soon as possible, citing that they are going to conduct an exposure visit to local successful farmers too.
