Khorixas entrepreneur donates to vulnerable
An upcoming local entrepreneur at Khorixas in the Kunene Region on Monday donated food items to ten households of the needy elderly and unemployed residents, to help them get through the month of January.
Owner of RJ Investments, Richard John Dawids (42) told Nampa here Monday that: “January can be a very challenging month considering the unemployment rate and also the elderly that have finished their pension money during the festive season. I am doing this out of good faith and ploughing back into the community is the right thing to do.'
One of the beneficiaries Victoria Nanus (92) said the only decent meal she had last, was during the month of November, as she did not get any donations last year.
“As I am sitting here I am very hungry. I am sure God has sent you in the form of an angel to my house. I am very grateful. I was wondering where my next meal would come from. God has answered my prayers,” she said.
Another beneficiary living with ten unemployed people at her home, Elizabeth Klim (60), said that she has been facing difficult times every January and the food items will help them get through January worries.
“I am speechless. I have many mouths to feed. I am thankful that I am part of the beneficiaries. God will bless Dawids for coming to rescue us. Who in Khorixas would have come to our house just like that to donate food? May God bless him,” said Klim.
Lydia Kordom (75) said that God has seen her struggles.
“He truly will be blessed. I have been struggling and I am sure this food will help my household survive this month. I was praying that somebody helps me at least with food yesterday, my prayers are answered,” she said.
Three unemployed residents aged between 44 and 47 years were also among the beneficiaries. Donated items include 10 kilograms of rice, maize meal and baking flour as well as 2 litres cooking oil, and a 5kg bag of sugar.
Dawids added that the donation of food items to needy will be an annual gesture.
