Inspiration rewarded

FOUR community projects from across the country have each received N$50 000 from Standard Bank’s ‘Inspiration Lives in Africa’ campaign.

The campaign, which was not a competition, aimed to recognise projects rather than individuals. The campaign encouraged citizens from Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland to identify and nominate local community-based projects that bring about positive change within their communities.The Solar Stove Project from Ongwediva is a project run by rural women who are trying to improve their lives and combat deforestation.The Hope Training Initiative from the coast trains unemployed people in basic skills so that they might find employment.Jepumba builds beds at very reasonable prices for the poor.The Khoe-da-ge project consists of a group of blind people who are making crafts to improve their lives.The campaign encouraged citizens from Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland to identify and nominate local community-based projects that bring about positive change within their communities.The Solar Stove Project from Ongwediva is a project run by rural women who are trying to improve their lives and combat deforestation.The Hope Training Initiative from the coast trains unemployed people in basic skills so that they might find employment.Jepumba builds beds at very reasonable prices for the poor.The Khoe-da-ge project consists of a group of blind people who are making crafts to improve their lives.
