Social Responsibility

Namport Social Investment Fund

The Namport Social Investment Fund was established in late 2006 for the purposes of positioning Namport as a responsible corporate citizen who is committed to making a meaningful contribution to the development and upliftment of the people of Namibia.

The Fund wants to become a partner together with Namport’s stakeholders, and other relevant parties with a proven track record in the development and upliftment of vulnerable and disadvantaged communities in Namibia.

To achieve our objectives we want to fund projects which are aimed at poverty alleviation, job creation / income generation, education, entrepreneurial skills development, and health care.

Many project proposals and requests for donations have been received and the Fund holds quarterly meetings to consider these various applications for assistance.

In addition, the Fund is liaising with welfare organizations and Constituency Development Committees (CDC) to obtain information on social investment programmes and needs in the communities served in order to identify projects for investment.

The Trustees of the Fund are Wessel Feris, Acting Chairperson, Jo-Ann Stevens, Administrator, Suoma Itope and Agnes Goeieman.
