The Capricorn Foundation has committed N$2 million to fight hunger and malnutrition in the country.

The foundation in a statement revealed that it has committed N$600,000 to the Gondwana Meal4Two Programme for the provision of nutritional meals across the country, while 1.4 million will be given to Genesis Namibia to address malnutrition in the Omaheke Region.

Quintin Hartung, Environmental and Social Impact Manager at Gondwana, said they are incredibly grateful for the Capricorn Foundation's continued partnership in their Meal4Two Programme.

Genesis Namibia stated that it appreciates the Capricorn Foundation for their unwavering commitment to feeding the children of Namibia.

In 2024, the Capricorn Foundation conducted a pilot project with Genesis Namibia to combat malnutrition in the Omaheke Region, with an amount of over N$500,000 initially committed to target 500 children.

The pilot project exceeded expectations, resulting in the foundation pledging even more money to help fight hunger in the region, aiming to help hundreds of affected children.

The Capricorn Foundation was founded by the Capricorn Group in February 2020 and has thus far invested N$40 million in corporate social responsibility programmes and projects.
