Gondwana Care Trust

“The Gondwana Care Trust received the award for best social and community development in the charity category, recognising its ongoing commitment to uplifting communities across Namibia.”

“This isn't just a trip," McLean explains. "It's a chance to share Namibia's culture, its conservation efforts, and the work of the Michelle McLean Children Foundation, including our primary school in Windhoek and initiatives like Promiseland at Walvis Bay and the MealForTwo Programme by the Gondwana Care Trust.”

“Care Trust volunteers distributed 3 748 back-to-school Christmas bags filled with essential school supplies to pupils cross the country, from Rehoboth and Walvis Bay to remote communities in the Kunene region.”

“Working closely with partners like Promiseland Trust Centre at Walvis Bay, the Care Trust donated seven refurbished computers and four tablets to support digital literacy among pupils of all ages.”

“Eight of the camelthorn trees were also planted by the Gondwana Care Trust in collaboration with the OneEconomy Foundation's BeFree Youth Campus and the P.A.Y Centre at Katatura in Windhoek.”

“The QR codes in the vehicle connect curious travellers to Gondwana's wider world – from Go2 shuttle options to Namibia2Go's car rental services and to the uplifting community work done through the Gondwana Care Trust.”

“By increasing its own capacity to process meat, Gondwana can ensure better supply chain reliability for its lodges, while also supporting food insecure communities with the surplus meat through the MealForTwo project under the Gondwana Care Trust.”

“Thanks to the support of the FirstRand Namibia Foundation Trust, the Gondwana Care Trust is able to assist the Sikunga Fish Guards with financial support on a monthly basis.”

“In a step towards inclusive, future-facing education, Gondwana Care Trust representatives recently joined EduVision's hands-on training sessions across three of its schools in the Namib Desert.”
