First President of Namibia donates part of his farm

Former Namibian President Sam Nujoma has donated a portion of his Farm Etunda in Otavi, for the construction of a clinic and a primary school.
Nujoma recently indicated that there are many children from the rural areas who are in dire need of assistance and thus approached Ohorongo Cement to seek help with the construction of a school and a clinic. His request led to a further donation of 34 tonnes of cement by the company.

“The health of our people is critical to enable them to contribute to the socio-economic development of our country. A clinic will provide quality health care services to schoolchildren and workers in Otavi District and the surrounding areas,” said Nujoma.

In addition, the Ohorongo Otavi Community Trust will also contribute equipment worth N$600 000. Managing Director of Ohorongo Cement Hans-Wilhelm Schütte said: “Health is equally as important, since healthy people build a strong nation where all can contribute to a stable economy.”

The site for the clinic and school has been de-bushed and cleared and the first bricks have been delivered as construction will start soon.
