Debmarine revives skills development training

Home National Debmarine revives skills development training

Following severe setbacks suffered at training centres for skills development in Keetmanshoop due to the effects of Covid-19, Debmarine Namibia recently came on board, donating equipment valued at approximately N$200 000.

The equipment, consisting of computers, stoves, refrigerators and sewing machines were handed over on Tuesday in the southern town to the Women Action for Development (WAD) and Multipurpose Youth Resource centres.

This donation came as a result of an intervention from the office of  //Kharas governor Aletha Frederick. 

She said they are optimistic that the donation will strengthen the relationship between her office and Debmarine in future, enabling the granting of more such assistance when needed. 

“To all beneficiaries, I hope that you will cherish this excellent learning environment made possible today and work hard to gain more knowledge and skills in order to contribute towards the development of our region and the country at large,’’ she urged the students present. 

Also speaking at the event, WAD centre administration officer, Patrick Jossob, on behalf of the students, expressed his sincere appreciation and gratitude towards Debmarine for their noble deed. 

“These information communication technology, hospitality and tailoring equipment we received today will definitely boost our training programmes to the next level,’’ he assured. 

Jossob also called on the community of Keetmanshoop and the region as a whole to actively participate in the training opportunities presented at the WAD centre to gain much needed knowledge and empower themselves in their strive to become self-sufficient, productive citizens.
