The NamPower Foundation has spent N$1.3 million to renovate a computer laboratory at C. Heuva Secondary School and a laundry room with new industrial washing and tumble dryer machines at Motsomi Primary School.

The Chairperson of the NamPower Foundation, Dr. Simeon Amunkete, stressed the importance of the foundation assisting the education fraternity, especially in hygiene and social welfare. 

"NamPower undertakes to continue investing in the social welfare and development of our communities as long as resources allow. All 14 regions in the country have benefited from the support channelled towards the education sector this far." 

The Regional Education Director, Constance Wantenaar, emphasises that education requires a multilateral approach; hence, NamPower's donation will help improve education quality at both schools. 

"NamPower, your donation to the two schools is testimony that you care about the brighter future for the Namibian child, and particularly for the children of C. Heuva and Motsomi Primary School." 

On behalf of the two schools, Motsomi Primary School Principal Margareth Gaowetse said the donation came at an opportune time, given the workload that affects school progress. 

"These gifts are very valuable and indeed needed at our schools. The burden of using hands to do the laundry of learners is eased by the cleaners as they strive to keep up with the motto, which is cleanliness at our institution. In the same vein, as we are leaving an advanced world where technology is needed everywhere, I believe that the impact of computers will help to reduce the workload and improve the computer skills of both teachers and learners." 

Gaowetse also implored other entities to come on board to assist the education fraternity in the region.
