WB We Care Trust shows their love
The WB We Care trust was founded in 2009 by WB CEO, Jesko Woermann, to ensure that money made available for corporate responsibility projects is actually spent properly. Although the focus of the We Care Trust is primarily on orphans and children affected by HIV/Aids, the trustees felt that an effort should be made to assist those who were hit the hardest by the effects of the virus.
The trust donated foods stuffs to the value of N$50,000 and clothing to the Ministry of Health and Socials Services. Michael Shilongo, Chief Administrative Officer (MoHSS), said that they appreciate the donation and that they would get the goods to the right people.
Rebecca Woermann, a trustee of the WB We Care Trust, said that it is a privilege to be able to assist and she hopes that other companies will also realise how some of our fellow Namibians struggle to get food on the table.

The time now for Disabled women in Namibia
These were the words of Mr Elia Shapwe, Acting Secretary General of the National Federation of People with Disabilities in Namibia (NDPDN), at first Day of the Disabled Woman which was hosted at the NFPDN on 14 March.
Women with disabilities ranging from Deaf, visually impaired to physical disabilities attend the event to address the problems they face and share encouraging and motivating stories and performances.
Ms Hileni Uulumbu, Councilor from the City of Windhoek, said that it is important for the women with disabilities to have a woman's day separate to the official International Day of Women, which is held on 8 March every year, so that the focus can fall on them and the unique challenges they face.
Deaf women are victimized by criminals because sigh language make reporting all the details very difficult while albinos are regularly called derogatory names. According to Miriam Sam (NADAWO) women with disabilities are commonly mistreated.
The Time is Now! Is the theme for 2018 and it calls for disabled women to take their life into their own hands and make a difference to their own lives while setting an example for other.
Some of the highlights of the performances were the “singing” of the National Anthem in sign language and a touching sign language poem by Lirogengeni Kakumo.
The WB Supermarket Group sponsored the event through their WB We Care Trust. Frieda Kandjii, Senior Operational Manager at the group, said that organizations, such as NFPDN, are welcome to apply for grants from the WB We Care Trust, because the group aims to assist positively in all areas where they do business.
