Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>RISTO Ashikoto (37), a Namibian entrepreneur who self-funded a production business, Risto Trading Enterprises CC, trading as Namaloe Products, now shares his skills with other entrepreneurs.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ashikoto manufactures cosmetics and detergents, and trains would-be entrepreneurs to manufacture cosmetics and detergents, and to bake biscuits.<\/p>\n

He also offers entrepreneurship classes.<\/p>\n

Ashikoto says his main aim is to empower the youth of Namibia to grow and develop.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs young entrepreneur, I believe every Namibian can earn the money they deserve if they use their time and resources wisely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Namaloe has been reaching out to Namibians in eight regions since 2021 through training, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year my team and I hosted a four-day training workshop for 10 girls in the Zambezi region, funded by Project Hope, on how to make dishwashing liquid. We also gave entrepreneurship classes, and they are now well-known businesswomen in the region because of our training,\u201d Ashikoto says.<\/p>\n

He says he needs the support and assistance of professionals and entrepreneurs to reach more people across the country.<\/p>\n

Ashikoto says Namaloe has just teamed up with two other companies owned by Erickson Mwala, who is an expert in agro-processing, and Rauna Awene, whose field is financial planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aim of this collaboration is to teach vulnerable young people in all 14 regions. The only challenge to make this dream a reality is finances for transportation, accommodation, meals, and booking venues,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Ashikoto calls on the public to support the training programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are requesting different embassies and ministries to partner with us so we can provide more training opportunities,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Ashikoto says the business has thus far trained more than 2 000 people countrywide between the ages of 18 and 35 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have produced well-known locally made dishwashing brands through our trainees, like Snap Dishwash, Nam Dishwashing Liquid, and Ofewa Yokuyoga Oiyuma,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Ashikoto is trying to fight Namibia’s high youth unemployment rate by training young people to become entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe it would be of great value as it would help young unemployed Namibians in their effort to develop skills and start their own businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is aiming to work for a big company. My aim is to change that mindset in our young people, so they can start their own companies locally,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
