Hundreds of senior people in the Donkerhoek, Katutura, have been identified by Round Table Namibia, a nonprofit organisation that focuses on community-based projects to improve the lives of communities, as beneficiaries of their programme.

During the winter, the organisation has been raising funds to support elderly people and vulnerable communities that are at risk across Namibia.

So far, they have been giving back to the community by providing primary healthcare, assisting vulnerable households, and running a soup kitchen.

The Epukiro Constituency Office and Tuva Tuva, a non-governmental organization, have donated blankets and other necessities to a group of people with disabilities in the constituency.

The donation, valued at more than N$50,000, is hoped to buffer them against the fast-approaching winter.

Speaking at the official handover of the donated items, Constituency Councilor Packy Pakarae stressed that people with disabilities need the full support and attention of community members just like anyone else.
