Agra’s staff has committed themselves to spreading the love this season through the Agra Staff Initiative Fund Christmas drive, collecting contributions, both in cash and in kind, from all staff members working in one of the many branches across Namibia.

Christo van Wyk, Agra’s Sponsorship and Promotions Officer said it is imperative that they remember the vulnerable this festive season and they believe that they have the power to help the less fortunate.

“In 2018, food, stationery, gardening equipment and basic necessities were given to the vulnerable countrywide during the Christmas drive,” he added.

He emphasied that many of them have been blessed with financial advantages and stable families and thus through their staff initiative they took up the challenge to help those who can not help themselves.

Agra branches countrywide participated , the staff of each helping to establish and sustain the initiative with donations from staff members themselves. “It’s all about making a difference in the Namibian community,” said van Wyk.
