Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>A program that focuses on empowering women through business and artisan entrepreneurship in Namibia, Penduka Trust, on Thursday celebrated 30 years since it began catering to women\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

It remains one of the first organizations in Namibia that focuses exclusively on empowering women suffering from the effects of unemployment and poverty through the development of creative potential among women.<\/p>\n

Namibia\u2019s Deputy Minister of Industrialisation and Trade, Verna Sinimbo, highlighted that the core of Penduka\u2019s drive is to eradicate poverty and social challenges among vulnerable women in Namibia.<\/p>\n

To date, both private and public organizations support the Penduka Trust by hosting workshops, conferences, and team-building exercises, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Some of its projects include an \u201cadult diaper project,\u201d and the trust already has the infrastructure and machinery to undertake such projects.<\/p>\n

Sinimbo stressed that sustainable economies develop from businesses that operate fairly and ethically and strive to maximize social impact alongside economic returns for beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, women who have accrued the necessary entrepreneurial skills are encouraged and continuously supported to start up their enterprise,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The Penduka Trust has assisted its surrounding communities with skills training in the handcraft industry as well as providing entrepreneurial skills.<\/p>\n

Its partners include the Penduka Foundation in the Netherlands, which is the sole distributor of Penduka products in Europe, and a provider of financial contributions, strategic direction, and advice.<\/p>\n
