In celebration of its 128 anniversary, the Woermann Brock "We Care Trust' donated N$300 000 to 12 beneficiaries in need of financial assistance.

The Trust supports communities in surrounding areas of all Woermann Brock Stores and assists organizations that actively work towards helping those in need.

The Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr. Kalumbi Shangula in his keynote address commended the supermarket for providing assistance to those who need it most.

"The Trust has joined efforts with the Ministry of Health and Social Services in providing much-needed assistance, especially to patients and clients in need of basic commodities, such as toiletries, food, as well as essential medication. During the past 24 months, the Trust has donated in excess of N$ 350 000.00 to organizations that have successfully applied for assistance. These include the Katutura Intermediate Hospital, welfare organizations, organizations for persons with disabilities and older persons as well as schools, including schools for children with disabilities."

Some of the other beneficiaries include Onandjokwe Intermediate Hospital Maternity Ward, Afri-Yan Oshana Region, Rehoboth Mommies in Need, Ray-Lee's Hope for Life, Kamwandi Secondary School, and many others.  

The Woermann Brock "We Care Trust" was established in 2009 with the aim of supporting Namibians who are affected by HIV, orphans and widows, persons with disabilities, older persons and young mothers in need.
