The One Economy Foundation held its annual Media Awards yesterday in the capital.

The awards recognise journalists and media practitioners whose reporting focuses on issues such as gender-based violence, femicide, sexual and reproductive rights, mental health, and child protection.

The One Economy Foundation hosted the third annual Media Summit in Windhoek.

The events brought together media practitioners, journalists, and healthcare professionals from across Namibia.

Former First Lady and chairperson of the One Economy Foundation, Monica Geingos, has called for stronger action to break the cycle of inequality that continues to fuel global health challenges.

The media and stakeholders of the One Economy Foundation have applauded the work of the Foundation as well as the operations of the #BeFree Youth Campus in the heart of Katutura.

The Foundation held a celebration event, which also included a tour of the campus on Friday. 

The One Economy Foundation raised N$3,422,900 at a fundraising dinner celebrating its 10th anniversary, themed "A Decade of Weaving Legacy and Stitching Futures," in Windhoek on Thursday.

One Economy Foundation Head of Operations, Saddam Biwa, announced the total amount raised at the event.

Residents of Okahandja Park in Windhoek turned out in large numbers today, as residents flocked to benefit from the free health services offered by the One Economy Foundation.

Gender-based violence and femicide (GBV-F) have a ripple effect not just on individuals, but also on families and communities as a whole.

A member of the One Economy Foundation's '#BeFree' initiative, Edwardo Swartz, said receiving a new pair of school shoes represents more than a donation; rather, it is a sign of hope amid a dim situation.

The Development Bank of Namibia and the One Economy Foundation have signed an agreement to drive sustainable economic growth, youth empowerment, and community development.

Former First Lady Monica Geingos says there is a need to mobilise partners to support youth-focused sexual and reproductive health and rights programmes.

Geingos and a panel of experts dissected this during a side event of the Summit of the Future at the UN headquarters on Friday.
