Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The National Youth Council (NYC) of Namibia received a N$100 000-shot in the arm to establish a resource centre. <\/b><\/p>\n

Simon Taapopi, a member of Bridgehead Group Holdings\u2019 board, announced this donation at the resource centre\u2019s official launch at the NYC\u2019s head office in Windhoek yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have earmarked N$100 000 to support the NYC in establishing a resource centre to help young people access crucial information technology services, including printing and internet services,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Taapopi said since the company\u2019s involvement with the council, it has declared and paid dividends of N$500 000 to the NYC, demonstrating the entity\u2019s commitment to its mandate, and to supporting its shareholder in meeting its objectives.<\/p>\n

The centre is fitted with 10 workstations, water dispensers and 10 laptops.<\/p>\n

Taapopi says the investment aims to reduce the digital divide and promote equal access to resources for the youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the world rapidly evolves, we understand our responsibi\u00adlity to help young people adapt, and to ensure they are not excluded from economic opportunity due to limited access to the internet. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s research or applying for a job online, we are determined to reduce the digital divide and promote equal access,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He encouraged young people to make optimal use of the centre in pursuit of their dreams and ambitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is theirs. We will not ask them to pay for it. And we expect no financial returns from it,\u201d Taapopi said.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the same event, the acting director of the NYC, Sircca Nghitila, said the centre represents hope, opportunity and a brighter future for young people.<\/p>\n

She said it will be a sanctuary for young people from underserved families, offering a space to learn, explore and acquire vital digital literacy skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not merely about access to technology; it is about bridging gaps and breaking down barriers that many of our youth face daily,\u201d Nghitila said.<\/p>\n

She said the centre is particularly beneficial to jobseekers as it offers resources to create professional curricula vitae, look for job opportunities and even participate in online interviews and training programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our youth organisations needing a dedicated space for their work, this centre will provide the environment they need for documentation and other essential tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n
