Purposeful Camp Namibia
A social enterprise created by the youth for the youth
Desiree Gases
After a series of detailed consultations with various student representative council leaders, PCN has observed and reached a conclusion that there is indeed a need to equip the young leaders with the necessary imperative skills by hosting an SRC retreat, which envisions for effective student body council governance and personal growth for the young leaders.
Consequently, PCN would like to contribute to the improvement in the performance of the education sector by ensuring that they have well-informed student leaders who are part of the governance to ensure that Namibia has a well-educated nation.
In partnership with B2 Gold Namibia, the retreat took place from 29 July to 1 August 2021 at the B2 Gold Education Centre. The SRCs were from the Windhoek campuses of Unam and Nust.
Purposeful Camp Namibia (PCN) is a social enterprise for the youth, by the youth. PCN’s work centres around the youth development sector with an annual youth camp being their core function.
At the camp they take the participants through a journey of self-discovery, with lectures on personal development, leadership, public speaking, entrepreneurship and financial literacy alongside practical activities based on the lectures to further iterate the lessons being taught.
This is done with the purpose of PCN envisioning its annual alumni conquering and taking charge of their lives. PCN seeks to send out confident and powerful influencers, trailblazers, positive disruptors and innovators into the mainstream youth development sphere of Namibia.
The initiative envisions trainees and mentees transforming the country through various activities that are aligned with the three P’s: purpose, passion and proactivity. Ever since PCN started on 12 June 2019, two camps have taken place so far that birthed the transformation of 76 participants’ lives and the PCN brand impact at over 800 lives.
