The Capricorn Foundation has recently made a N.dollars 250 000 donation to the Step Out of Poverty Charity (S.P.E.S).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The foundation\u2019s ongoing assistance enables S.P.E.S to directly impact 1 100 children in Windhoek through 15 informal pre-schools by providing teacher training and mentorship, food and educational resources.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
S.P.E.S Charity is a non-profit organisation that has been active in the community for over 16 years, primarily assisting informal pre-schools in Windhoek\u2019s needy areas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Capricorn Foundation Executive Officer Marlize Horn in a press release on Tuesday said since its inception in 2020, the foundation has established a solid track record of supporting early childhood development (ECD) projects and programmes throughout Namibia.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to her, S.P.E.S is one of about five ECD programmes supported by Capricorn Foundation, adding that in order to avoid duplication of efforts, each of these programmes has a distinct value proposition and geographical impact.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cA safe, healthy and conducive learning environment is critical for children to maximise their early learning and to build a strong foundation for their development. The Capricorn Foundation is proud to partner with and support like-minded organisations that operate within one of our primary focus areas of education,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Horn added that S.P.E.S works to break the cycle of poverty by providing a support structure around the child while they develop through pre-school, primary school and secondary school until they enter employment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Since the start of the S.P.E.S project, Kopenhagen Fur from Denmark has been involved as the primary sponsor. However, their commitment has been dramatically affected by COVID-19.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
