Metropolitan turns the page on printing challenges for Chief Hosea Kutako Primary

Metropolitan Namibia has again demonstrated its strong commitment to community upliftment and educational development by donating a photocopy machine to Chief Hosea Kutako Primary School in the Omaheke Region.Valued at N$57 000, this photocopy machine represents a significant investment in the school's infrastructure and the future of its learners.For the past three years, the school, located in the Aminus Constituency and serving 542 pupils with a dedicated staff of 20 teachers, has operated without a printer. Educators had to travel 5 km to neighbouring schools to perform essential printing tasks for both administrative and academic purposes. The newly donated photocopy machine is expected to considerably enhance teaching efficiency and access to resources.During the official handover ceremony, Mr. T.S. Mbiriona, the Principal of Chief Hosea Kutako Primary School, expressed his gratitude: “This donation ... will not only ease the workload for teachers but will also enable more effective lesson preparation, directly benefiting our learners.”In his remarks on behalf of Metropolitan Namibia, sales manager Denias Hangula emphasised the organisation’s commitment to supporting inclusive and quality education: “At Metropolitan, we believe that progress is possible when we respond to real needs and contribute in ways that make a lasting difference. This handover is not just about a machine; it is about standing with communities, walking alongside those who make a difference, and ensuring that no learner is left behind.”The event was attended by dignitaries, including Pijoo Nganate, governor of the Omaheke Region, who reaffirmed the collective responsibility in driving educational success.“Delivering quality education is not a task for government alone. It requires all of us, corporate partners, civil society and individuals, to work together,” Nganate said. Also present were members of the school board, educators and community members. The programme featured performances by local cultural groups, Onderera and Outjina, showcasing the pride and spirit of the occasion.This initiative by Metropolitan Namibia reflects the organisation’s broader mission to extend its impact beyond financial products by directly investing in educational empowerment and community well-being. “Let us continue to build a Namibia where every learner has a fair chance, where teachers are supported and where no one is left behind. Together we can," Hangula said.
