Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Round Table Namibia held its annual Winter Knights street collections project on Friday with fundraising efforts in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Windhoek to help vulnerable communities this winter.<\/p>\n

The organisation, in collaboration with various companies, traditionally starts raising funds on the first Friday morning of June each year but due to Covid-19 had come to a standstill.<\/p>\n

Project convener, Stefan du Raan, explained how street corners are \u2018sold\u2019 to corporates for the actual fundraising in the morning. The corporates send their staff to help raise funds and collect items from motorists<\/p>\n

This year 40 corners were occupied in Windhoek, 11 at Swakopmund and 10 at Walvis Bay.<\/p>\n

The project has raised close to N$500,000 in cash through street corner sales, collections and pledges from companies and individuals. Non-perishable food items, blankets and clothing donated are estimated to exceed N$ 40,000 this far.<\/p>\n

They target vulnerable communities across Namibia, especially orphanages, soup kitchens, the elderly, old age homes and the homeless.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have five clubs in Namibia who all have a responsibility to assist with the distribution to the beneficiaries. Future Media, Pep and Indongo Toyota also assist us in ensuring the goods get distributed timeously,\u201d Du Raan said when asked how they plan to reach their target market.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever think any donation is ever too small! Every little bit helps and goes a long way in reaching our goal and standing united as one Namibia,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

The sponsors of this event were Future Media as the main sponsor, with PeP, Indongo Toyota, Paytoday and Dynamic Mobile Solutions as secondary sponsors.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us show the world that we are unified in our determination to make this world just a little better, one project at a time,\u201d Du Raan concluded.<\/p>\n
