Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>On Saturday, February 25th, 2023, Nedbank Namibia launched its fundraising golf series under a new name, the Nedbank for Good Series. This golf series, previously known to have raised N$656,000 for the Autism Society of Namibia, will now extend its support to more institutions, initiatives, and projects, broadening its reach to support more social causes across the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking about this new venture, Biniam Ghirmatsion, Executive for Wealth Management and Bancassurance at Nedbank Namibia, said that the bank is honoured to play a role in uplifting communities and leaving a legacy of goodwill in all spheres of the country\u2019s people, together with its clients. \u201cWe believe that this initiative will leave a lasting legacy to the communities that will benefit from it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While the primary aim of the series may be golf and hosting events of exceptional quality at golf courses across the country, Ghirmatsion said that the ultimate winners will be those who receive the money raised through the generosity of the golfing community. \u201cThis is something that all Nedbank Private Wealth clients aspire to do, and the Nedbank for Good Series provides us with the perfect platform to do exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the first beneficiaries of the Nedbank for Good Series is the Ro\u0308ssing Foundation\u2019s Mobile Laboratory for Science and Mathematics. The foundation supports the education in English, mathematics, and science of pupils across the country who do not have easy access to education centres due to their remote locations. Money raised from this year\u2019s golf series will be used to replenish laboratory equipment, specialized tools, and chemicals. Given the large number of pupils who have challenges meeting the minimum requirements for tertiary education admission, this investment into the education sector is invaluable.<\/p>\n

Ro\u0308ssing Foundation Executive Director Uparura Kuvare said that it was encouraging to see corporates committing to their cause to better equip Namibian children for the future. To date, the mobile laboratory has visited 62 schools across the country, delivering experiential learning to over 30,000 students. \u201cThe renewed commitment from Nedbank and its partners will enable us to reach more rural schools, which are experiencing challenges such as insufficient access to educational facilities, particularly laboratories for science-based experiments,\u201d said Kuvare. This year the focus is on Arandis, Ondangwa, and Tamariskia.<\/p>\n

The Nedbank for Good Series, with a clear commitment to giving back to Namibian communities while furthering the game of golf, has also expanded its reach by introducing a women\u2019s section to the series this year. \u201cOur goal is to empower more members of society by expanding access and providing educational resources,\u201d said Dan Zwiebel, owner of DZ Golf, the organizing partner of the series. \u201cI believe that success begins at the grassroots level, and education is critical to the upbringing of our children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While most of the money raised this year will go to the Ro\u0308ssing Foundation, participating golf clubs can ask for financial support for charitable causes in their communities. \u201cWith the funds that we are raising through charitable auctions at the Nedbank for Good Series events, we wish to see a portion ploughed back straight into the communities in which the series has an indelible footprint. Participating golf clubs can, therefore, submit requests for funding towards charitable causes within their communities,\u201d said Ghirmatsion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe intend on being the greatest supporter of golf in our country, and the 10 events at golf courses across the country during the Nedbank for Good Series, as well as our country\u2019s largest golf event, the Nedbank Desert Classic, epitomize this quest of ours. The fact that we are elevating the women\u2019s section of the Nedbank for Good Series<\/p>\n
