This also supports the Sustainable Energy Drive from the Ministry of Environment & Tourism.

Ohorongo supports this mission and drive and strongly believes in the upliftment of the community, while at the same time, protecting the environment.

These two sponsored stations has a value of N$ 20 000 and will be placed at Hillside Primary School in Khomasdal, Windhoek, as well as at Kamwandi Combined School in Henties Bay.

The first station was officially handed over to Hillside Primary School this morning.
