School bags for all

The Christina Swart-Opperman Aids Orphan Foundation Trust recently launched the School Bag Project to contribute to the education of orphans and vulnerable children. Each learner’s School Bag includes a school jersey, lunch box, water bottle, stationary, socks and school shoes .The Trust asked  companies to help with the project by donating funds or some of the items that must go into the School Bag. The target for this year is to give 300 orphans and vulnerable children each his or her own School Bag. NamPower responded first and donated 100 school bags and 100 water bottles.

The Olof Palme Primary School, a current project of the Trust, will be the beneficiary of these school bags and water bottles. “NamPower is happy to be able to contribute to this worthwhile initiative by the Trust. We know that our donation will greatly impact the status of the beneficiaries of the project”, said Ms Tangeni Kambangula (left), Manager: Marketing and Corporate Communications at Nampower.
