Africa-Press – Namibia. THROUGH the provision of more funds in the sum of N$250,000, the Capricorn Foundation declared its sustained collaboration with the Step out of Poverty Charity (S.P.E.S).
According to Capricorn, the Foundation’s continued support enables S.P.E.S to directly impact 1100 children through 15 informal pre-schools in Windhoek by offering teachers’ training and mentorship, food, and educational materials.
The Capricorn Foundation also emphasized that education is one of its primary areas of interest and that, since its founding in 2020, it has a proven track record of assisting Early Childhood Development (ECD) initiatives and programs throughout Namibia.
S.P.E.S. is one of about five ECD programs that the Capricorn Foundation is funding to prevent effort duplication. According to Capricorn, each of these programs has a distinctive value proposition and a diverse geographic effect.
“A safe, healthy, and conducive learning environment is critical for children to maximise their early learning and to build a strong foundation for their development. The Capricorn Foundation is proud to partner with and support like-minded organisations that operate within one of our primary focus areas of education. Together with these partners, we remain committed to transforming lives and Being Connectors of Positive Change by making a profound and lasting positive impact on our communities. Benjamin Franklin famously said: “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”, said Marlize Horn, Group Executive: Brand & Corporate Affairs and Executive Officer of Capricorn Foundation.
Involved in the community for more than 16 years, S.P.E.S. Charity is a Non-Profit Organization that primarily supports informal pre-schools in Windhoek’s less affluent neighborhoods. The initiative seeks to end the cycle of poverty for the teenagers and children it works with through its all-encompassing approach. A total of 1100 children are directly impacted by the initiative, which focuses on providing them with emotional, physical, academic, and spiritual assistance.
The Foundation added that S.P.E.S seeks to end the cycle of poverty by offering a support system for children as they grow through pre-school, primary school, and secondary school until they find employment. Kopenhagen Fur, a Danish company, has been the project’s principal sponsor from its inception. But, Covid19 has significantly impacted their level of dedication.
