In a significant moment for community empowerment and education in Namibia, the Footsteps for Africa initiative officially handed over donations to the One Economy Foundation’s outdoor library at the #BeFree Youth Campus in Katutura.

Nust media lecturer Jordaania Andima is the country representative for the initiative founded by Austin Cameron.

Footsteps for Africa is an international initiative that empowers marginalised communities by building educational facilities, digging water wells to create reliable sources of clean water and establishing sustainable food programs.

The handover event marked a collaborative effort between the Footsteps for Africa initiative and the One Economy Foundation, highlighting a shared commitment to fostering educational opportunities and community development in Namibia.

The outdoor library at the #BeFree Youth Campus in Katutura is a vital resource for local youth, providing a space for learning, growth, and community engagement.

Cameron emphasised the importance of partnering with organisations that share the same goal and expressed his dedication to promoting education and sustainable development in the region.

  “I wanted to make a greater impact, and I knew that I wasn’t going to happen without partners with the same mission; that is what inspired the partnership with the One Economy Foundation,” he said.
