THE ROAD AHEAD

THE ROAD AHEAD: On 14 June, Nedbank Namibia handed over 40 bicycles to Beautiful Kidz, a Namibian non-profit organisation dedicated to uplifting vulnerable children and families. This donation was made possible through funds raised during the 2024 Nedbank Desert Dash, where participants and supporters came together to generate N$40 000 for the cause.Beautiful Kidz operates from community centres in Windhoek and Ovitoto, serving hundreds of children with programmes like pre-primary schooling, afternoon tutoring, youth clubs and holiday camps. They also offer vital community outreach and parenting support, along with initiatives like needlework training to empower local women. Nedbank Namibia Okahandja branch manager Desire Suze-Salomo said: "The Nedbank Desert Dash is more than just a race, it’s a powerful platform for charities to raise both awareness and funds. By participating in this event, organisations like Beautiful Kidz can connect with new supporters and potential sponsors, making a tangible impact in their communities."Beautiful Kidz Organisation board chairperson Andrew Nicholson said: "Through this support, we've been able to provide bicycles to the children who will no doubt ride thousands of kilometres, perhaps even preparing for the Nedbank Desert Dash 2040 when they come of age."PHOTO: NEDBANK NAMIBIA
