Our heart's desire is to support social and environmental projects. Namibia's people, wildlife and nature are very close to our hearts. Whether it is with donation of goods, financial support, sale of products, sponsorship of a child - every little bit counts and contributes to the sustainable development of these projects. Would YOU like to help as well?
The Orupupa Conservancy lies within the vast Kunene Highlands – a unique ecosystem stretching from the Etosha National Park in the east to the Skeleton Coast National Park in the west. As an important wildlife corridor between these protected areas, Orupupa plays a key role in preserving this remarkable wilderness. Together with Conserve Global and the local community, this special project is actively supported by us and forms part of its ongoing development. Through the establishment of Ekoto Camp, there is direct involvement in the Forgotten Valley, helping to strengthen sustainable tourism as a source of income. Measures such as responsible land use, improved water supply and new opportunities in tourism contribute to the long-term resilience of the region and help secure local livelihoods. At the same time, authentic nature experiences are created, offering guests respectful access to this unique landscape – guided by the idea: tourism that protects, nature that endures.
Fundraising campaign for young footballers from Namibia
In 2018 Tony Arjen Daugals, back then a young sports management student from Germany, came to Swakopmund to complete his internship at SFC, Swakopmund Sports Club. He saw the vast potential of young football players in Namibia, of which some came from rather difficult and troubled backgrounds and realized that he would be able to contribute to the development of the youth in Namibia. After completion of his studies, he returned to Namibia and was ever since employed by SFC, Swakopmund Sports Club, as a youth football coach. In cooperation with the local SFC-coaches they expanded the football youth academy of SFC. Coach Tony noticed that many talented and ambitious kids could not afford to join the training regularly because of financial constraints. For this reason, he founded the NGO called “Dein Ball für Namibia e.V.” (DBFN) to support young football players with individual sponsorships. The campaign aims at reaching out to young Namibians, and giving the Namibian youth the opportunity to grow and develop in a safe environment that includes not only the sport itself but also education, nutrition, accommodation and health of the children.
Sport, at its best, provides an equal playing ground for human achievement.
Dongina Risser is passionate about gymnastics and has spent most of her adult life coaching and judging gymnastics on all levels. Dongina is about ready to retire from coaching, but before she goes, she wants to leave a lasting contribution to the sport she loves. The Dongina Risser Gymnastics Foundation (DRGF) believes that every child should have the chance to participate in gymnastics no matter their socio-economic background in Namibia. The Foundation also helps the DRGF children and their families to live and study in a safe home environment.
Silver Lining in Swakopmund is a non-profit initiative supporting residents of the Democratic Resettlement Community (DRC). Its aim is to assist families facing challenging living conditions. The organisation provides selected families with monthly food parcels, clothing and essential household items. A further focus lies on supporting pre-schools, for example through equipping and improving classrooms, as well as offering practical assistance in daily educational activities. In addition, practical solutions are implemented to improve everyday living, such as enhancing hygiene and pest control in homes and educational facilities. Silver Lining therefore makes a valuable contribution to strengthening the local community in Swakopmund and improving living conditions.
