The Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair (OATF) fundraising gala dinner has raised N$2,1 million to host its 25th fair anniversary.

This is an increase from last year's gala dinner, which raised N$1,6 million.

Otjiwarongo-based charity organisation Omake raised N$20,000 at a fundraising dinner in pledges towards the establishment of a safe place for vulnerable children and people with disabilities.

The construction of the centre is estimated to cost more than N$3 million.
