In the true spirit of ‘how can we help you’ and the Christmas Season at hand, the FNB Namibia Holdings Foundation Board of Trustees approved N$10,000.00 each for ten branches across the country. Revonia Kahivere, Corporate Social Investment Manager at FNB Namibia: “These funds will be used by the branches to purchase gifts for disabled members of our society. The branches were encouraged to identify disabled community centres or homes and one of our branches, namely Rundu has already chosen Dr. Romanus Kambungu Primary School.”
The Dr Romanus Kampungu Primary School in Rundu has a total of eight classrooms of which two are utilised for children with learning difficulties; challenges include limited teaching and learning materials such as text books. Revonia: “We are so happy that we are able to assist through the Foundation and the Staff Volunteer programme. Our communities are extremely important to us and we look forward to putting a smile on leaners’ faces, especially this time of the year. N$ 5000 of the total funds has been used for purchasing school uniforms for the less privileged while the other N$ 5000 is for educational materials.”
The school has around 95 learners in grades 1 – 7.
