GIZ equips NFA Girls Centre
The Namibia Football Association (NFA) Girls Centre last week received a major boost from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), which presented it with beds and bedding to the value of N$75 000.
The NFA Girls Centre, which opened its doors in 2016, received 18 single beds and bedding from the long-term benefactors of women's football.
The donation will enhance the centre's capacity to provide a safe and secure space for the football-playing girls.
The centre's manager Jacky Gertze explained this latest support will also increase the possibility of generating income for sustainability, through the renting out of some bedrooms to other sport teams.
“GIZ continues to be a key partner of women's football development and we forever remain alert to maintaining this partnership. This gesture has helped us to furnish the second floor of the centre and the girl child and player remains protected and taken care of. We take care of girls from as far as Karasburg and Katima Mulilo,” Gertze said.
The centre hosts 15 full-time top players and offers education tutoring, vocational training and healthy lifestyle activities to them.
The centre is part of a German development cooperation project and takes place in close cooperation with the NFA, the ministry of sport, the German Football Association, the Football and Athletics Association of Westphalia and GIZ, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
