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<p>He also highlighted the ripple effect of such schemes on education and skills development.<\/p>\n<p>\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<p>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<p>\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<p>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<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
