Bank Windhoek ploughs back

Bank Windhoek is supporting the Agricultural Training Centre Krumhuk (ATCK), situated at Aris, some 30 kilometres south of Windhoek, with an amount of N$20 000. The ATCK is Namibia’s first training centre in agricultural production and farm household management that engages young people from different backgrounds from across Namibia.

“This centre was established during 2008 on Farm Krumhuk in response to the growing demand from the agricultural sector for young, passionate and self motivated Namibians, who are trained and well equipped for living and working on the land. We thank Bank Windhoek for believing in the capacities and aims of this centre and for contributing to the development of the country’s agricultural sector and subsequently to the economy and the well-being of all Namibians”, said Johan Gous, the project leader at the ATCK.

Courses offered include horticulture, livestock, game management, soil science, rangeland management and economics.

“Bank Windhoek is excited to be part of this important project and we trust that we can make a small contribution through this donation towards sustainable land usage and food security and to equip young Namibians with the necessary skills to get a head-start in life”, said Nora Ndopu, Communication Practitioner: Stakeholder Engagement at Bank Windhoek.

For more information on the courses offered by the ATCK, please contact the centre on 061 400 677 or visit www.atckrumhuk.org.
