Due to the success of the Ondundu Golf Day in 2007, a call has been made to the business community to take part in this year’s event, which is an initiative of the Ondundu Community Development Trust. The business community can also take advantage of the event to advertise their services and products through sponsoring a hole for N$5000 and a team for N$1000 or prizes,

Some 48 households and their entire families are benefiting from a farming project initiated by the Ondundu Community Development Trust.

The Ondundu Community Development Trust was formed in Tsumeb in 2003 with one of the main objectives to uplift the livelihood of the families within the informal settlement, a remnant from the old Tsumeb Corporation Limited era.
The trust and their like-minded partners established a farming project in Tsumeb as well as a comprehensive four year training programme establishing workshops for Ondundu beneficiaries and their families focusing on life skills, basic numeracy, book and record keeping, leadership, health initiatives and basic vegetable production.
“We are delighted with the latest development whereby the Ondundu Trust has been informed by the current owners of the settlement area that the Ondundu infra-structure together with the adjacent land will probably, from now on, serve under the direction of the Tsumeb Municipality,” the trust says. “We hereby inform and thank all our “partners in development” who took part in the process of developing and uplifting the community through their support and funding specifically of the agricultural programme.”
Some 48 households and their entire families have for the past five years benefited through the initiative. Through the many training workshops not only were skills transferred to the farmers but the younger community members were encouraged to further develop themselves and hence have secured meaningful employment in health and education departments.
