The donation is part of a bigger initiative to distribute more than 1,750 books during March and April 2021.

The support to education already started in 2019, and up to date more than 1,600 school books, covering the subjects of Mathematics, Natural Science, Social Studies, English and Afrikaans for grade 4 -7 were distributed.

“This is not the end. In order to mitigate some of the educational resource challenges the public education system is facing, we will endeavor to procure more textbooks for upper primary leaners. This is our continued commitment towards Namibia and its future leaders,” Rudolf Coetzee, one of the Trustees of OOCT, pledged.

 Support Ulm e.V., a German non-profit organization, has organized various fundraising activities throughout the years to raise funds which is again re-invested into various projects benefiting the Namibian population.
