The Capricorn Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to uplifting vulnerable communities in Namibia by renewing its partnership with Imago Dei, pledging N$998,200 for the 2025/26 fiscal year.
The funds will be directed towards 10 community projects across the country, supporting more than 2,500 children and individuals through soup kitchens, safe havens, gender-based violence awareness campaigns, orphanages, and sustainable gardens. Capricorn Foundation has been working with Imago Dei since 2022 and has already invested more than N$3,5 million in similar initiatives under its Vulnerability Focus Area.

“This collaboration demonstrates our strong commitment to uplifting vulnerable communities across Namibia,” said Veripura Muukua, Head of the Capricorn Foundation.
“With this investment, we aim to make a meaningful difference by addressing urgent needs. Our long-term partnership with Imago Dei has already transformed many lives.”

Imago Dei, established 17 years ago as a coordinating Corporate Social Investment (CSI) organisation, will continue to manage and strengthen its projects with the renewed funding.
The 10 beneficiaries include Family of Hope Services, Hope for Life Foundation, Response Action Based Organisation, HappyLand Safe Haven, TASK, Grace Welfare Project, URC Mariental Soup Kitchen, New Harvest Time Ministries Soup Kitchen, Bet-El Church Soup Kitchen and Charmy’s Heart of Hope. Millinda Coffee, General Manager of Imago Dei’s Welfare and Poverty Relief Programme, welcomed the continued support.

“Imago Dei would like to extend its deepest gratitude to the Capricorn Foundation for partnering with us once again,” Coffee said. “Their generous contribution will not only enable us to financially support many community-based projects but also help them grow and become even more impactful in their work.” The Capricorn Foundation, a registered welfare organisation and Section 21 company, was established in 2020 by Capricorn Group as the main administrator of its corporate social responsibility programmes.
The Foundation also acknowledged the support of its funding partners Bank Windhoek, Capricorn Asset Management, and Entrepo in sustaining what it described as “life-changing initiatives.”
