The Old Mutual Foundation (OMF) is pleased to announce the launch of its Chair & Desk (C&D) Initiative, a project created to address the urgent demand for usable chairs and desks in public schools throughout Namibia’s 14 regions. The Old Mutual Foundation has been a major sponsor in the education sector since 2012, and this new initiative builds on the work that has already been done.
The C&D Initiative aims to provide new chairs and desks to schools with a real need while also repairing all fixable damaged chairs and desks. To ensure the success of this effort, the Old Mutual Foundation is urging local entrepreneurs, businesses, vocational training facilities, and correctional services to collaborate on the provision and repair of furniture by completing the online form to be considered.
Equally, the Old Mutual Foundation is encouraging all Government schools in the 14 regions to participate by filling in the online form which requests them to motivate why their school deserves the support including other relevant information such as the number of fixable chairs and desks they have.
