Capricorn donates N$300 000 to Women at Work
NEWS IN SHORT
The Capricorn Foundation has donated a further N$300 000 to the Women at Work Training Centre, reaffirming its commitment to economic empowerment and supporting marginalised communities. This brings the foundation’s total contribution to Women at Work to N$1.5 million since 2022.
Founded in 2009, the Women at Work Training Centre provides opportunities for unskilled women and men who have not completed secondary education.
“The Capricorn Foundation is proud of its partnership with Women at Work and the hope it brings to our communities. The programme enables young people to become self-reliant, start their own businesses, and access employment opportunities," Marlize Horn, executive officer of the Capricorn Foundation, said.
“Women at Work is a beacon of hope that empowers youth and helps reduce unemployment in Namibia," she added.
Recent graduate Augusta Dongua said: “Women at Work has given me hope and knowledge that I will carry with me in both my personal and professional life."
Dalene Jordaan, general manager of the centre, added: “This year, around 75 trainees completed our hospitality and dressmaking courses. We believe we have touched 75 lives in more ways than one. Our training goes beyond subject knowledge; we teach life skills such as communication, conflict management, and work ethics."
