Eros Girls' School hostel officially handed over

In a significant stride towards enhancing educational infrastructure, Sanet Steenkamp, the executive director of the ministry of education, arts and culture, recently unveiled the newly-renovated hostel of Eros Girls' School in Windhoek. The commendable transformation was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the Footsteps for Africa Foundation, which invested approximately N$1 million in the renovation project. As a gesture of additional support, the foundation also contributed sanitary pads valued at N$50 000.This is the fifth project completed by the foundation in the Khomas Region last year, displaying a dedication not only to physical improvements but also to developing future collaborations. Founder Austin Cameron emphasised the collective responsibility in achieving educational excellence, stating: "It is very important for each of us to help those in need only 15 kilometres away or even only 15 metres away from us. Whatever touches your heart, go there and make a difference".Governor Laura McLeod-Katjirua, represented by Windhoek East councillor Brian Black, expressed eagerness to continue working closely with partners to support upcoming projects in the region, ensuring a sustained positive impact on the education sector. Black conveyed these sentiments in a speech on behalf of McLeod-Katjirua, highlighting the ongoing collaboration with the Footsteps for Africa Foundation.The popular African proverb, "it takes a village to raise a child", aptly encapsulates the philosophy underlying this collaborative effort. This ethos emphasises the importance of a collective approach in providing a safe and healthy environment for children. The collaborative journey not only signifies a dedication to education, but also reflects shared values that unite stakeholders in building a brighter future for generations to come.Expressing gratitude, Steenkamp urged other stakeholders and friends of education to join hands with the ministry and government to further improve the learning environment for Namibian children.
