Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE non-profit project ‘Never Walk Alone’ has managed to raise around N$2,3 million in the last 10 months.<\/b><\/p>\n

The project aims to collect money to be able to provide vulnerable children with a pair of shoes annually.<\/p>\n

It was launched in August 2021.<\/p>\n

The initiative by MTC’s Tim Ekandjo has to date visited the Hardap, Omaheke, Erongo and Kavango East regions.<\/p>\n

According to the project’s marketing and logistics officer, Beverley Naris, they have so far delivered a total of 4 475 pairs of new leather shoes, made by Shilongo Leatherworks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are proud of this achievement, we know we still have a long way to go, as there are over 70 000 barefooted children across the country, waiting in hope for their turn,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Although the project usually raises funds through corporate entities, it also comes up with its own initiatives.<\/p>\n

The most recent is the ‘Never Walk Alone Namibia Catchweight’ title.<\/p>\n

Musician and producer King Tee Dee will compete against Ekandjo in this regard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must admit it was extremely difficult to convince the parties to participate in this initiative, given the sacrifices they have to make, but they agreed,\u201d Naris says.<\/p>\n
