As part of its Early Leaner Assistance Scheme, over the past ten years Bannerman has supported over 3,000 primary school learners in various regions of Namibia. The programme, which assists needy primary school learners with school clothing, shoes and school bags, initially targeted the Erongo region, but has since expanded to the Omaheke, Kavango West & East and the Kunene Regions. This year, Bannerman extended the project to the Hardap Region.<\/p>

The early closure of schools amid the coronavirus outbreak validated a review of the programme. Reflecting different needs, the goal of the programme thus changed to ensuring that learners\u2019 basic needs are met while schooling at home. Many families in Namibia are struggling to provide essentials such as food and toiletries, and Bannerman, in consultation with the Ministry of Education, Arts & Culture, assembled care packages as a more immediate response than school uniforms in Hardap region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Three hundred care packages consisting of food hampers and toiletries were assembled and donated to the vulnerable learners of the Hardap Region in June 2020. The 300 care packages, which weighed 4.5 tonnes, were packed in Swakopmund and safely transported to Mariental under the guidance of Exploration Superintendent, Marthinus Prinsloo.<\/p>

On 4 June 2020 the 300 care packages were handed over to the Hardap Regional Governor, Hon. Salomon April, and the Regional Director of Education, Arts & Culture, Mr. Gerhard Ndafenongo, together with several school Principals from the region. Bannerman\u2019s Non-executive Director Ms. Twapewa Kadhikwa and Senior Stakeholder Relations Adviser, Matjiua Hengua handed over the care packages at the Regional Offices in Mariental.<\/p>

In her address, Ms. Kadhikwa, a renowned Namibian Entrepreneur, emphasized that the current need is overwhelming and hoped that the help offered will go some way to assist needy families. However, she also reiterated that, \u201cGive a man a fish and you teach him how to eat for a day; but teach a man how to fish, and you teach him how to eat for life.\u201d She appealed to all Namibians to become more innovative, to use their local talent and support small businesses for self-reliance and economic emancipation in the region and the country at large.<\/p>

Despite being a small exploration company with no income at this stage, Bannerman believes that education is the cornerstone of Namibia\u2019s development and is thus committed to partnering with Government and investing in this area.
The Honourable Governor Mr. Salomon April vowed not to be a \u201champer receiving governor\u201d, but greatly accepts the challenge to bring about social change through innovation to fight poverty in the region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
