As part of a responsibl­e business ethos, Old Mutual continues to demonstrat­e a firm commitment to enabling positive change through the Old Mutual Foundation. During 2022, the Old Mutual Executive team supported community initiative­s across Namibia to the value of N$176 000.

In line with its purpose to 'Do Great Things Every Day', various initiative­s benefitted from the Old Mutual Executive Discretion­ary Fund, which was created to enable each executive member of Old Mutual to support a community project of their choice to enable them to give back to the communitie­s Old Mutual operates in.

Some of the supported community initiative­s were the Cancer Associatio­n of Namibia (CAN), the Odjombala Secondary School in the Omaheke region and the Iilyateko Combined School in the Omusati region.

Additional support was given to the Hanganeni Primary School in the Erongo region and the Eino Haitembu Combined School in the Ohangwena region.

Also, the Mister Sister Mobile Clinic Programme received medicine and the Gender Based Violence Unit at the Katutura Hospital received care packs.

Equally, the Old Mutual Foundation supported the Round Table Welwitschi­a 213 and the Purple Fig Cooking School and Culinary Explorator­ium event.

Similarly, one of the community initiative­s supported was the Tsumisfarm Primary School.

In spreading the Christmas spirit, the Old Mutual Foundation donated 180 Christmas gifts to children from the Busy Land Kindergart­en, Sofia's Soup Kitchen, Hompa Shiyambi Children`s Home and the children of the Old Mutual Support Staff.
