They walked away with N$3 000. “It was a great pleasure to see the smiles on the faces of the children when they received their certificates of achievement. As a bank, it is also pleasing to note the innovative ideas that the children had to start their own businesses. “The idea behind the Bank Windhoek BizzKids competition is to encourage children to take informed business risk from a young age,” said executive officer for marketing and corporate communication services at Bank Windhoek Jacquiline Pack. “The competition gave the finalists the chance to get involved in product development from start to finish, as they were encouraged to make their own products, market it and sell it,” Pack said. The Bank Windhoek BizzKids competition was launched seven years ago to encourage and promote entrepreneurship among Namibian youth. 2016-11-03Staff Report 2
