Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The Gebedsplaas San Self-Help Project at Otjozohungu in the Omaheke region was handed over to the San community on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The project, operating from the Otjombinde constituency, is an employment scheme for the San community sponsored by the Social Security Commission (SSC) and Omaheke Regional Council.<\/p>\n

It helps community members to establish dairy and welding enterprises, in so doing providing them with employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

During the official handover of the project, Otjombinde constituency councillor Wenzel Kavaka said the project\u2019s goal is to shape the characters of the San people and enhance their self-esteem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognise the incredible impact this initiative has had on the San community and the community of Otjozohungu at large since its inception. One of the cornerstones of a thriving society is gainful employment. It enhances the social fabric of our community, creating a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and included,\u201d Kavaka said.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted the ripple effect of such schemes on education and skills development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are the foundation upon which we build a stronger, more resilient, and closely-knit community. As we celebrate this handover, let us renew our commitment to creating more opportunities, fostering growth, and ensuring a brighter future for every member of our beloved San community,\u201d Kavaka said.<\/p>\n

SSC chief executive officer Milka Mungunda, in a speech delivered on her behalf, said the project reflects the commission\u2019s commitment to enhancing the lives of Namibians, addressing unemployment, and improving livelihoods, particularly for those affected by multidimensional poverty.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we reflect on the enterprise\u2019s journey, it is heartening to note that the SSC\u2019s funding primarily went into essential components such as skills development and physical infrastructure,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The Gebedsplaas San Self Help Project has received N$2 223 000 in funding from the SSC Development Fund and the Omaheke Regional Council since 2018.<\/p>\n
