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 each for ten branches across the country.
According to FNB Namibia’s corporate social investment manager Revonia Kahivere, the money will be used by the various FNB branches to purchase gifts for disabled members of society.
“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 Kampungu Primary School,” she said.
The Dr Romanus Kampungu Primary School at Rundu has eight classrooms of which two are utilised for children with learning difficulties. The school’s challenges include limited teaching and learning materials such as textbooks.
Of the total money allocated, N$5 000 was used to purchase school uniforms for less privileged children at the school.
“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$5 000 of the total funds has been used for purchasing school uniforms for the less privileged while the other N$5 000 is for educational materials,” Kahivere said.
The school has around 95 learners in grades one to seven.
