Businesses boosted by Windhoek East constituency office
The Windhoek East constituency office held its annual handover of equipment and material to income-generating activities on 27 April 2022.
Three beneficiaries were selected for this year’s donation – Triple MC Wheels and Castors, which specialises in cleaning services and equipment repairs; and two bakeries, Nam Delights Bakery and Desert Indulgent Pastries.
Constituency councillor Brian Black said the purpose of the handover is “to demonstrate to the residents of our own constituency that we care and are aware of the many hardships facing our small and medium enterprises and the Namibian girl child.”
Black expressed disappointment that none of last year’s 18 recipients are in business anymore.
He urged beneficiaries of the programme to honour its conditions and make a success of their businesses so that they can serve as role models.
This year, part of the programme’s budget will go towards improving the lives of girls by donating sanitary towels to the Eros Girls’ School.
Black said in his first year as regional councillor he managed to save 30% of his annual entertainment budget.
“With these savings I was able to put it to good use supporting the girl child. Today I would like to present this small donation to the less privileged girl child within our constituency in the form of sanitary pads.”
The beneficiaries thanked the Regional Council for the donations and its efforts to improve the economy through building up the different constituencies with SME development programmes.
